Local note

1. The Schomburg Center's Manuscripts, Archives & Rare Book Division's volume 2 (accession no A880640) is probably a post-Lawrence Reddick addition to the collection. It includes an NYPL 1940 bookplate of: "The Schomburg Collection of Negro Literature and History." but lacks the NYPL perforated stamp or/and any other stamps or processing markings of the Schomburg Collection; imperfect: treated; part of the text on pages 583 & 584 may be lacking; rebounded in black cloth over boards library binding, and gilt spine.
2. The Schomburg Center's Manuscripts, Archives & Rare Book Division's volume 8 no. 2 (accession no G229366) is a gift; probably added to the collection when Catherine A. Latimer was the collection librarian and Lawrence Reddick was the Curator. It includes an NYPL 1940 bookplate of: "The Schomburg Collection of Negro Literature and History." but lacks the NYPL perforated stamp or/and any other stamps or processing markings of the Schomburg Collection; imperfect: treated; trimmed off margins, rebounded in black cloth over boards library binding with additional blank pages at the back, and gilt spine.
3.

Library binding in brown cloth over boards and gilt spine. Binding date stamp: July 17, 1925.
