THE ALDINE, THE AET JOURNAL OF AMERICA, Issued Monthly, i- A Magnificent Conception, wonder fully carried out." The necessity of a popular medium for the repre sentation cf the productions of our great .artists, has always been recognised, and many attempts have been made to meet the want ! The successive failures which so Invariably followed each attempt in this country to establish an art journal, did not prove the indifference of the people of America to the claims of high art So soon as a proper ap preciation of the want and an ability to meet it were shown, tee public at once rallied with enthusiasm to its support, and the result was a great artistic and commercial tiiumph THE ALDiNE. - THE ALDiNE, while issued with all the regu larity, has none of the temporary or timely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals. It is an ele gant miscellany of pare, fight, and graceful litera ture; and a collection of pictures, the rarest speci mens of artistic skill, in black and white. Al though each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty of THE ALDINE will be most appreciated after it is bouLd up at the close of the year. While other publications may claim superior cheapness, as com pared with rivals of a similar class, THE ALDINE is a a unique and original conception alone and unappro ached absolutely without competition In price or character. The possessor of a complete volume can not duplicate the quantity of fine paper and engravings in any other shape or number of volumes for ten times its cost; and, there is the chromo, besides! . The national feature of THE ALDINE must be taken In no narrow sense. True art is cosmopoli tan. W hile THE ALDINE is a strictly American institution, it do- s not confine-itself entirely to the reproduction of native art. Its mission la to culti vate a broad and appreciative art taste, one that will discriminate only en grounds oi manure; merit Thus, while placing before the patrons of THE ALDINE, as a leading characteristic, the pro ductions of the most noted American artists, atten tion will always be given to specimens from foreign Tnmia .ritrinr urihiirriliRrn nil the rileasure and ln- sr ruction obtainable from home or foreijrn sources. The artistic illustration of American scenery, original with THE ALDINE, ia an important fea ture, and its magnificent plates are of a size more treauneufc vi ueuuin inferior page. "The judicious interspersion of landscape, marine, figure, and animal subjects, sustain an unabated interest, impossible i where the .scope of the wort confines the .rt.1rtt too cloaelv to ft single stle of subject The literature of THE ALDINE is alight and giace- f nl accomDaniment. worthy of the artistic features, witn only ucn lecnmcai nuquuutiouB as uu bui m- ten ere witn tne popular interest oi uw woi k.

Large accessions to our geographical knowledge have been made by the indefatigable explorers of Africa. I . The great political revolutions or tne last aecaae, with the natural result of the lapse of time, havs brought into public view a multitude of new men. whose names are in every one's mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the particulars. Great battles have been fought and important sieges maintained, or wmcn tne aetaiis are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publica tions 01 tne (lay, out wmcn uiusnt now to uute meir rmrmanent and antnenuc mstory. In nreoarint; the present edition for the press, tt has accordingly been the aim of tbe editors to bring down the lniormauon to tne latest posaioie aates, and to furnish an accurate account of the most re cent discoveries in science, of every fresh produc tion in literature, and or tne newest inventions in. the practical arts, as well as to rive a xinct and original-record of the progress ol pohbaal events.

The illustrations which are introduced for the fiist time in the present edition nave been added not tor the sake of Pictorial effect but to giye greater lucid ity and force to the explanations in the text They embrace all branches of science and of natural nisto rv. and depict the most famous and remarkable f ea tures of scenery, architecture, and art, as well as Jie processes of mec names ana manufacturers. Al though intended for instruction rather than embel lishment, no pains have been spared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a welcome reception as an aamirame feature oi tne uyciopeedia, and worthy of its high character. This work is sold to subscribers omy. payable on delivery of each volume. It will be completed In sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous colored Lith- ograpn maps. , Price and Style of Binding.
