Local Note

The Schomburg Center's Manuscripts, Archives & Rare Book Division's copy is a gift donated by "Arthur A. Schomburg" probably added to the Schomburg collection when Catherine A. Latimer was the collection librarian. G. K. Hall., v. 9, page 8303, column 2, row 6 showed a "January 13, 1942" cataloging date, which indicates that this pamphlet was among the items re-cataloged during Lawrence Reddick's tenure. It includes NYPL's bookplate of "Arthur A. Schomburg Negro Collection" and early processing markings of the original Schomburg Collection. Library-bound in brown cloth over boards, with additional blank pages at the back and a gilt spine title.
