We are much pleased with the first number o
the AnglO-Afrtcan Magazine issued by our old
friend Thomas Hamilton. "-ViSitor franklin, N.

There is a well-written Introductory, but the
ablest and most elaborate article is that on Civil
ization-its Dependence on Physical Cireum-
stances by James MCune Smith, colored ply
stefan 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 q

ored men, its contributors mainly colOred people.
Among these contributors notice the names Of
order: Rev. II. H. Garnet, DR.. James M'Cune

Mary A. s. Carey, Sarah NJ. Douglass, Geo. B.
Vashon NJ. Fl. Freeman, DC. Among the number
of contributors named, no doubt others of equal
talent are included but we are not so well able to
speak of others.
The articles are generally creditable; the Intro

This Magazine is one of the best appearing
monthlies we have seen from the American press,
and the leading articles, and those from the con-
tributors, contain arguments and general informa-
ton that should be procured by every family, and
particularly young men, and treasured up. Let
the friends of literature and progress subscribe for
it, read and preserve it. The contributors are
among the ablest writers we have, and from the
number interested in this work, at the end of the
year, you that subscribe will have the material to
make an interesting volume. Provincial Free

ANGLo-AFRICAN MAGAzINE.-We have received
the number three of a handsomely printed Maya
zine, under the above title, published in New
York, by Thomas Hamilton, No. 48 Beekman

been issued, and the manifest ability exhibited on
every page, that has given us SO much pleasure. 1t

ANGLo-AFRIcAN MAGAzINE.-The first number
of this Magazine published by Thomas Hamilton
4S Beekman street, N. Y. has appeared. We
think it will be read with interest by all who re
ceive it. The third article " Civilizaton-its De-
pendence on Physical Circumstances" by DR..
James N 'Cune 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
gio-Af rican Magasine.-American Missionary,

EDITOR OF TRIBUNE Il have just received from
the office of the A1glo-Aficdn Magazine, pub
lished in New York, three numbers, and as a trib-
ute to both enterprise and merit, desire to say
few words on the subject.
While there is spirit that would crush the
colored race, and trample them under foot as infe
rior, it ia cheering to witness single triumph OF
our colored friends, and 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 him call over
and read single article in 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 AngiO-Ari
can Magasine, and while they encourage the en-
terprise, they will also beentit themselves by an
increase of useful knowledge, and decrease of IN
generous and unreasonable prejudices. l COM
