Local Note
The Schomburg Center's Manuscripts, Archives & Rare Book Division has two copies of this pamphlet. Copy 1, in Sc Rare 326.1-B (accession no. H960148), is probably a post-Lawrence Reddick addition to the collection; it includes an "Arthur A. Schomburg Negro Collection" bookplate but lacks the NYPL perforated stamp or/and any other stamps or processing markings of the original Schomburg Collection. Imperfect: bound in blue cloth over boards, library binding, with additional blank pages in the back, and a gilt spine.
Copy 2, in Sc Rare 326.1-B (accession no. G222792), is a (December 22, 1942, -- G. K. Hall., v. 1, page 848, column 2, row 5) gift; probably donated by Arthur A. Schomburg. It includes an "Arthur A. Schomburg Negro Collection" bookplate; and a Star symbol stamp. It also has a "November 9, 1945" bounding date, which indicates that this copy was added to the collection when Catherine A. Latimer was the collection librarian; Lawrence Reddick was the Curator. Imperfect: bound in hunter green cloth over boards, library binding, and gilt spine.
