There is a well-written Introductory, but the
ablest and most elaborate article is that Civil
ization-its Dependence on Physical Circum-
stances by James M'Cune Smith, colored ply
stefan of much distinction in New York. 1t shows
much research and thought. E
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 a
monthly Magazine, published and edited by col
ored men, its contributors mainly colored people.
Among these contributors we notice the names of
those whom We know to possess talent of high
order Rev. II. H. Garnet, DR.. James M'Cune
Smith, Frederick Douglass, ]. W. G. Pennington,
Mary A. S. Carey, Sarah NJ. Douglass, Geo. B.
Vashon, M. H. Freeman dc. Among the number
of contributors named no doubt others of equal
talent are included but are not so well able to
speak of others.
The articles are generally creditable; the Intro
ductory, and one on Ciyilization-its Depend
ence on Physical Circumstances, are certainly
able. Daily Dispatch Pittsburgh, Pa)

EDITOR OF TRIBUNE Il have Just received from
| the office of the AnglO-Afr ican MagGeine, pub
lished in New York, three numbers, and, as trib-
ute to both enterprise and merit desire to say
few words on the subject.
| While there is a 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 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 a single article in of these Magazines,
and then blush for the injustice done a 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 AnglOAfi-
can Magazine, and while they encourage the en-
terprise, they viii also beenft themselves by an
increase of useful knowledge and decrease of I'M
generous and unreasonable prejudices. COM
mend it to our Reading Rooms, and to every pri-
vats family, as a work of decided merit, for only
one dollar year-Rer. r. II. COnklin, IN Tribune
