The Aldine, An Illustrated Monthly Jou-nnl, universally admitted to be the Handsomest Peiiodical tn the W orld. A Representative and Champion of American Taste. NOT FOR SALE IN BOOK OR NEWS STORES THE ALDINE, wlvle issued with all the regiilm+ty, has u.ffie of the temvoraiy or timely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals. Itis an elegant miscellany of pure, light and ginecfi'.: literature; and a collection of picture*, the rmest specimens of artistic skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding numtier affords a fre»ii pleasure to its friends, Ibo leal va ue and beeuty of THE ALDINE will be most appreciated after it lias been bound up at the do e of the year. While other publications may claim superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of the same class, THE ALDINE is a unique and ofigTßaTconception—alone and uuapproached—absolutely without competition in price or character.

AKT »HPAK FMIIAT, 1874. The illustrations of THE ALDINE have won a wurld-wide reputation, antUin 'Mie artcenters of Europe i. is an admitted fact that its wood cuts are examples of the highest jaeriectiou ever attained. ’Jtlse com iioft -prejudice in favor cf “steel plates,” ii rapidly yielding to a more educated and d sciimicatiug taste which ieoogniz.es the advantages of superior artistic quality with greater facility of production. The wood cuts of THE ALDINE possess dl the delicacy and elaborate tinisli of the most costly steel plate, while they ass iid a better rendering of the artist’s original. To fully realize the wonderful work which THE A LDINE is doing for the cause of art culture in America, it is only necessary to consider the cost to the people of any other decent representations of the productions of gieat painters. a In additon to designs by members of the National-Academy, and other n-ted American artists, THE ALDINE will reproduce exam-, pies of the best foreign masters, selected with a view to the highest artistic success and grestesi general interest. Thus the subscriber to THE ALDINE will, at a trifling cost, enjoy in his own home the pleasu es and refining influences of true art. The quatterly tinted vbites for 1674 will be by Thos. Moran and J. D. WoodwardThe Christmas issue for 1574 will contain special designs appropriate to the season,by vnr best artists, and will surpass in attractions any of its predece eors. PRE.IIII'MN FOR 1874. Everysubsciibst to THE ALDINE for the year 1874 will receive a pair of ehroinvs ilie original pictures were painted in oil for the publishers of THE ALDINE, by Thos Moran, whose great Colorado picture was purchased by Congress for un thoii’and dollars. The subjects were chosen to represent “The East” and “The West.” One is a view in The White Mountains,New Hampshire; tlie oilier gives The Cliffs of Green River, Wyoming Territory. The difference in the nature ot the scenes themselves is a pleasing contrast, and affords a good display of the artist’s scope and coloring The chromos are each worked irnurihirty distinct plate-, and are iu size (12 x 16) and appearance exact lac similes of the originals. The presentation of a worthy example of America's gi-eatest landscape painter to the subscribeis of THE ALDIAL was a bold tut peculiarly happy idea, and its' successful realization is attested oy the following testimonial, over the signature of Mr. Moran hiiutelf. , NtwARK.N.
