Benjamin Lundy, a crusader against slavery, began his antislavery magazine without capital and with only six subscribers. Founded in Mount Pleasant, Ohio, in 1821, it was moved to several different cities including Philadelphia and Baltimore and finally to Lowell, Illinois. The Genius, which favored gradual abolition and colonization, published plans for abolition and other societies, biographical and historical sketches, poetry and anecdotes, and a summary of foreign and domestic news. Cf. American periodicals, 1741-1900.
