4 The Anglo African Magazine is the title of a
new candidate for public favor the first (January)
Anumber of which lies before us. 1t is published
lin the interest of that class of our fellOwcitzens
5who are disfranchised by the bred Scott decision,
land its contents in their generality, speak very
3sgnificantIy of the injustice done them by the
aopinions of some of the Judges Of the Supreme
FCourt-
1--WE hail the appearance of this Magazine a step
lin the right direction, and trust that it will not be
4suffered to lack for the want of support.-EUGa-
sgctis (Ne1o York;
Among the various publications recently
sannounced, are glad to learn of the establish
4ment of magazine conducted entirely by coOred
apersons, and devoted to the social moral and po-
ziitcal advancement of their brethren Indcpend-
adent (Ncp York;
q The Magazine is of great ability, interest
ssand taste, and will bear comparison with those
1of much greater pretensions. We sincerely hope
althe friends of the colored people will patronize
;sths work and help them in this honorable effort
Ito put themselves in a position which they de-
9serve, and which their enemies would tain prevent
Nthem from attaining. Blake or the Huts OF
3 America, is beautifully written and filled with
Ethrilling interest.-American Baptist Mem York
1t is creditable publication. Such
Ia journal will, if rightly conducted, do much to
raise the condition of this class of our population
7 and inspire them with manly self-respect, and
+ breathe a Christian aim into their struggles
s. Christian Inquirer (Nele York;
81 The colored citizens of the United States num-
zber many men of culture and marked ability as
7speakers and writer's, and they have established a
9monthly in New York entitled the AnglO- A frIcan
g Magazine which is certainly creditable in style
execution and literary merit. We
zhope that its success may be such as to encour-
Sage its undertakers to yet greater exertions to i'm
sprovement, even amid the difficulties which lie in
3 their way.-NationaL Era Washington, d. c.
q The new year has thus far brought to our notice
snothing more gratifying and encouraging than this
NEW publication. The advent of a monthly mag
Esazine, devoted to Literature, Science, Statistics
Setc., is thing under the sun, and especially
mot new in our country. The United States
:zabound in such publications but to our knowl-
sedge nothing of the character of the magazine be-
fore us, has ever been attempted by any member
Cor members of the colored race in the United
Estates. We have had numerous newspapers a
good many pamphlets, few unpretending poems
"a few biographical sketches, mostly narratives Of
sfugtive slaves, written by themselves Others
zony written at their dictation, the amanuenss fur
Finishing the words, and the fugitives the facts but
Ebeyond these, nothing has been even attempted
1.-The Anglo-African is bright new fact, and we
trust the beginning of an era in the mental moral
land religious history of the eOlored people in this
ssRepubhe. Whatever may be the fate of this new
republication, In point of patronage, whether il
shall succeed or fail, for want of support, we sin
scerely rejoice to see the attempt made, and made
ESQ well.

sling the dependence of Civilization on physical
circumstances. The subject is one of great inter

listing in this country. To those who know DR.
