American Magazine and Monthly Chronicle, The (1757–58), political magazine founded at Philadelphia by William Bradford, with William Smith as editor. It published contributions by Francis Hopkinson and Thomas Godfrey, and attacked the French and the Quakers, championed the development of an American nation, and sided with the proprietors against Franklin in the quarrel over the question whether the Penns should pay taxes on their Pennsylvania grants. The magazine's contributors formed a literary group known as the Society of Gentlemen.
