Local note

1. The Schomburg Center's Manuscripts, Archives & Rare Book Division's copy has two different accession numbers with two alphanumeric alphabet letters initial. It has an H266107, which indicates that it's probably one of the added to the collection when Catherine A. Latimer was the Collection Librarian; Lawrence Reddick was the Curator. However, it also includes a B512774, which indicates that this copy is probably part of the original collection purchased from Arthur A. Schomburg in 1926. Imperfect: bound in red cloth over boards library binding, and gilt spine.
