ion of the _Law and Doctrine of the African Methodist Episcopal Church_ and the _Standard Hymnal_ written by Richard Allen. In 1836 Rev. George Hogarth published an addition to this volume and in 1841 brought forward the first magazine of the sect. Edward W. Moore, a colored teacher of white children in Tennessee, wrote an arithmetic. C.L. Remond of Massachusetts was then a successful lecturer and controversialist. James M. Whitefield, George Horton, and Frances E.W. Harper were publishing poems. H.H. Garnett and J.C. Pennington, known to fame as preachers, attained success also as pamphleteers. R.B. Lewis, M.R. Delany, William Nell, and Catto embellished Negro history; William Wells Brown wrote his _Three Years in Europe_; and Frederick Douglass, the orator, gave the world his creditable autobiography. More effective still were the journalistic efforts of the Negro intellect pleading its own cause.

[Footnote 1: In 1827 John B. Russworm and Samuel B. Cornish began the publication of _The Freedom's Journal_, appearing afterward as _Rights to All_. Ten years later P.A. Bell was publishing _The Weekly Advocate_. From 1837 to 1842 Bell and Cornish edited _The Colored Man's Journal_, while Samuel Ruggles sent from his press _The Mirror of Liberty_. In 1847, one year after the appearance of Thomas Van Rensselaer's _Ram's Horn_, Frederick Douglass started _The North Star_ at Rochester, while G. Allen and Highland Garnett were appealing to the country through _The National Watchman_ of Troy, New York. That same year Martin R. Delany brought out _The Pittsburg Mystery_, and others _The Elevator_ at Albany, New York. At Syracuse appeared The _Impartial Citizen_ established by Samuel R. Ward in 1848, three years after which L.H. Putnam came before the public in New York City with _The Colored Man's Journal_. Then came _The Philadelphia Freeman_, _The Philadelphia Citizen_, _The New York Phalanx_, _The Baltimore Elevator_, and _The Cincinnati Central Star_. Of a higher order was _he Anglo-African_, a magazine published in New York in 1859 by Thomas Hamilton, who was succeeded in editorship by Robert Hamilton and Highland Garnett. In 1852 there were in existence _The Colored American_, _The Struggler_, _The Watchman_, _The Ram's Horn_, _The
