Although each suc ceeding number affords a iresh pleasure to its friends, the real value land beauty of The Aldine will be most appreciated after it has been bound up at the close of the year While other j publications may claim superior cheapness, as com pared with rivals of a similar class, The Aldine is a unique and original concep tion alone and unapproached ab.-o-lutely without competition in price or character.

Notwithstanding the increase in the price of subscription last Fall, when TJie Aldine assumed its present noble pro portions and representative character, the edition was more than doubled during the past year; proving that the Ameri can public appreciate, and will support, a sincere effort in the causer of Art. The J publishers, anxious to justify tne ready conlident-.e thus demonstrated, have ex- cried themselves to the utmost to devel oj and improve the work and ihe'plans for the coming year, as unfolded bythe mbntbly issues, will astonish and delight even the most s;inguine friends of Ttie eminent artists in America.
