- Local Note
- The copy in the Manuscripts, Archives & Rare Book Division of the Schomburg Center is a pre-1926 gift by A. A. Schomburg, added to the collection during Catherine A. Latimer's tenure as collection librarian. It includes a handwritten inscription on the verso of the original cover: "Presented to the Schomburg Collection by A.A. Schomburg." It's imperfect: disbound, treated, each page mended and encapsulated in mylar, and rebound or post-bind in red cloth over boards and gilt, black leather spine label. Some of the text may be lacking, and it lacks the NYPL bookplate but has NYPL's perforated stamp and early processing markings of the original Schomburg Collection.
