"There is a well-written Introductory, but the
ablest and most elaborate article is that on Civil

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

ANGLo-AFRIcAN MAGAzrNE.-The first number

structiys and valuable. The idea that in nations
advanced in civilization the sources of intellectual
power spring from the common people, the physi-

! EDITOR OF TRIBUNE Il have Just received from
the Office of the Anglo-A frcan 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 is cheering to witness single triumph OF
our colored friends, and see them rice in manlness
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 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 a
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 AngiOAfTI-
can Magazine, and while they encourage the en-
terprise, they will also beenft themselves by an
increase of useful knowledge and decrease of IN
generous and unreasonable prejudiees. COM
