The Analectic Magazine (1813–1820) was published in Philadelphia by Moses Thomas, and later, by James Maxwell.

[2] The magazine was described as "comprising original reviews, biography, analytical abstracts of new publications, translations from French journals, and selections from the most esteemed British reviews."

Some issues contained reprinted articles from the British press, and there were extensive book reviews.

It represents a woodland scene — a flowing stream and a single house upon the bank.

Readers included U.S. president Thomas Jefferson.
