1--WE are much pleased with the first number
the Anglo-Aftcan Magazine issued by our old
friend Thomas Hamilton - Visitor FRANKLIN, N.
"
There is well-written Introductory, but the
ablest and most elaborate article is that Civil
zation-its Dependence on Physical Clrcum-
stances, by James M'Cune Smith, a colored ply
sican of much distinction in New York. 1t shows
much research and thought.
The Magazine commences its career with modest
appearance and subscription price-a favorable
sign of permanence and success. We hope that it
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

"Here is a curiosity-the first number Of
monthly Magazine, published and edited by col

Among these contributors we notice the names OF
those whom we know to possess talent of a high
order: Rev. H. IL. Garnet, DR.. James M'Cune
Smith, Frederick Douglass, j. W. c. Pennington,
Mary A. S. Carey, Sarah n. Douglass, Geo. B.
Vashon NJ. H. Freeman, dc. Among the number
of contributors named, no doubt others of equal
talent included but We are not SO well able to
speak of Others.
The articles are generally creditable; the Intro
ductory, and one on 'Civilzation-its Depend
ence on Physical Circumstances are certainly
able. DAILY Dispatch pittsburgh, Pa.)
"This first number gives promise of an inter-
esting and valuable journal, and we hope the ex-
pertinent of its publisher will be decided sue

ANGLO AFRICAN MAGAzINE-We have received

York, by Thomas Hamilton, No. AZ Beekman

in vier of the circumstances under which it has
been issued, and the manifest ability exhibited on
every page, that has given us so much pleasure. 1t
is managed exclusively by colored men, and filled
alone with the contributions of their pens. 1t CON

guished colored men DIR. Martin Delany, DR..

think it will be read with interest by all who re
ceive it. The third article, " Civilzation-its De-
pendence on Physical Circumstances" by Dr.
James M'Cune Smith, regard as peculiarly in
structiye and valuable. The idea that in nations
advanced in civilization the sources of intellectual
power spring from the common people, the physi-
cally vigorous, il happily developed and worthy
of general attention. We wish success to the An-

EDITOR OF TRIBUNE Il have Just received from
the office of the Angio-A frlcan Magazine, pub
lshed in New York, three numbers, and, as a trib
ute to both enterprise and mcrit, desire to say
few words on the subject
While there is spirit that would crush the
colored race, and trample them under foot infe-
rior it is cheering to witness single triumph of
our colored friends and see them rise in manliness
and power, in spite of prejudice and hate. If any
one doubts their upward tendency, their want of
elements essential to elevation, let hlm call over
and read single article in one of these Magazines,
and then blush for the injustice done crushed
people The talent and taste exhibited would do
honor to any Magazine published IN our nation
Nor would we thus speak of single author or
single article the whole work glows with the evil
dence of talent and scholarship-far more so than
many of the popular productions of the press. Let
our citizens interest themselves in the Anglo Afr
.an Magazine, and while they encourage the en-
terprise, they will also beenft themselves by an
increase of useful knowledge, and decrease of I'M
generous and unreasonable prejudices. l com
mend it to our Reading Rooms, and to every Pri-
yate family, as a work of decided merit, for only
one dollar year.-Rer. r, H. COnkita, 1" Tribune
