- Local Note
- The Schomburg Center Manuscripts, Archives & Rare Book Division's copy in Sc B-Washington, B (accession no. B524151) is part of the original collection purchased from Arthur A. Schomburg in 1926, 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," the NYPL perforated stamp, and early processing markings of the original Schomburg Collection. Library-bound in hunter green cloth over boards and gilt spine title. It may have been recatalogued; G. K. Hall showed a "November 7, 1949" cataloged date.
