Local Note

The Schomburg Center's Manuscripts, Archives & Rare Book Division's copy 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: lacks the original cover; bound in red cloth over boards, library binding, and a gilt spine
