There is a well-written Introductory, but the
ablest and most elaborate article is that on Civil
ization-its Dependence on Physical Circum-
stances, by James M'Cune Smith, colored ply

much research and thought.
The Magazine commences its career with modest
appearance and subscription price-a favorable

will be taken by all the colored persons in our
village who are able, as it cannot fail to improve
them, intellectually, morally and physically

Among these contributors notice the names of
those whom we know to possess talent of a high

Smith, Frederick Douglass, j. w. c. Pennington,
Mary A. S. Carey, Sarah NJ. Douglass, Geo. B.

of contributors named, no doubt others of equal
talent are included; but we are not SO well able to
speak of others.

ANGLO AFRICAN MAGAzINE-The first number
of this Magazine, published by Thomas Hamilton,
48 Beekman street, N. Y, has appeared We
think it will be read with interest by all who re

James MCune Smith, we regard as peculiarly in
structive and valuable. The idea that in nations
advanced in civilization the sources of intellectual
power spring from the common people, the physi-
cally vigorous, is happily developed, and worthy
of general attention. We wish success to the An
