THE ALDLNE, while issued with all the regular
ity, has none Of the temporary timely interest
characteristic of ordinary periodicals. 1t is
an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and grace
full literature and collection of pictures the rare
est specimens of artistic skill in black and white
Although each succeeding number affords q fresh
pleasure to its friends the real value and beauty of
the ALDINE will be most appreciated after It is
bound up at the close of the year. While other
publications may claim superior cheapness, as COM
pared with rivals Of asimiIar class, THE ALDINE
is an unique and original conception-alone and
approached-absolutely without competition in
price or character. The possessor of a complete
volume can not duplicate the quantity Of fine pa
per and engravings in any other shape or number
of volumes for ten times its cost and then there
the chromos, besides!
While placing before the patrons of THEALDNE
most noted American artists, attention will always
be given to specimens from foreign masters, giving
