Newspaper or publication: Weekly Anglo-African (1859 - 1862)

The writer tells his readers that an "Anglo-African" is an "Englishman of African descent," not African American. Since there are so few Anglo-Africans in the U.S., the newspaper will be changing its name "week after next." He doesn't, however, tell readers what the new name will be.
