Notwithstanding the increase in the uri.'c v of subscription last fall, when the Aldlne a Numed Its present noble proportions aud rep resentative diameter, the edition was more than double the past year; proving that the American public appreciate a sincere ef fort in the eiuiMn ol Art. The publishers, anxlou tojiiitiry the ready confidence thus demonstrated, havo exerted themselves to tho titmot to develop and improve the work; and the plana tor this coining year, an untnlded bv the monthly Ismioh, will as tonlh and delight even the mot sanirulne friends ut the Aldlne. Tho Aldlne will reproduce examples of the bcit foreign maxter?, selected with a view to the highest artistic sucee". and irreatet general interest ; avoiding such as have becumc familiar, tlirouyli photograph, Ul ill Ull, Iklllil. The quarterly tinted plates for 173, will reproduce four of .lohn S, DavU' Inimitable child-sketches, appropriate to the four sea sons. These plates, apncarlm: iu tbe Imucs tor ,iamiary, April, ,ini), anu uctotier, would lie alone worth the price of a jear" subscription. PREMIUM IIROMOS FOIt 1373. Every atibcriber to the Aldlne, who pay. Iu adtauee for the year 1873, will receive, without additional charge, a pair of beauti ful nil chromox, alter J. J. Hill, tho eminent English painter. The pictures, entitled "Tho Village. Belle," and "CrosMni; the Moor." are 14x20 Inches aro printed from 2.'i dllfcrent plates, requiriii); 2i luipressious and tints to perfect each picture. The same chromos are sold lor f.'W per pair, Iu the art stores. As It Is the determination of Its con ductors t keep tho Aldino out of the reach ot competition in etry department, the chromos will bo found ahead ol any that can be otfered by other periodicals. Ever)' subscriber will receive a certificate, ot er the signature of the publishers, truaranfreluj; that tho chromos delivered snail bo equal to the samples furnished the agent, or the money will be refunded. The distribution of pictures of this grades freo to the subscribers to a five dollar peri odical, will mark an epoch in tbe history of Art; and, considering the unprecedented cheapness of the price for I'lm Aldlne Itself, the marvel falls little short of a .nlriade, even to those best acquainted with the achievements of luventtiu genius and Im prove.! mechanical appliances. (Kor Illus trations of these chromos, see November ls stto of tbe Aldlne.) THE LITERARY DEPARTMENT will continue under the care of Mr. Richard Henry Stoddard, assisted by the best writer and poets of the day, who will strive to havo tho literature of the Aldlne ulwavs In keep-in- with its urtUtic attractions.
