The Cape Monthly Magazine (18511881) was a news journal that was published monthly in the Cape Colony. The most popular and famous of the Cape journals from the 1800s, it was founded in 1851 by Professor Roderick Noble (1829-1875), a Professor of Physical Science and English. The journal frequently took a liberal stance and a wide range of leading Cape intellectuals contributed to it - from the entire range of the political spectrum. It also included scientific articles, such as early writings on Darwinism, and studies from Joseph Orpen, an anthropologist and a student of indigenous southern African cultures, on San languages and rock art.
