This journal featured articles by many, if not most, of the African American scholars and writers of the day. After 15 months, he was forced to cease publication for financial reasons. Includes articles on the physical comparison of Anglo-Americans and African-Americans, "Thoughts on Hayti," and a poem by Francis Ellen Watkins, among others.
