Local Note

The Schomburg Center's Manuscripts, Archives & Rare Book Division's copy is a gift, probably added to the Schomburg collection when Catherine A. Latimer was the collection librarian. It includes NYPL's bookplate of "Arthur A. Schomburg Negro Collection," ink stamps, and early processing marking of the original collection, but no NYPL's perforated stamp or seal; it's library bound in faded red cloth over boards, with additional blanc pages along the back, and gilt spine title. Imperfect: brittle, some pages torn along the spine.
