[Ithaca]: Crawford Bernard Lindsay, 1949.
Price: $1,800.00
Hardcover. First edition. Quarto. 728 typed carbon leaves printed rectos only. Bound in black buckram titled in gilt. Ex-historical society copy with shelf numbers and evidence of a removed label on the spine, and a "withdrawn" stamp from a state historical society, but no other obvious markings, else fine. Ownership signature of Professor H. W. Thompson. Inscribed by the author: "To my Chairman and friend, from his grateful student, Crawford B. Lindsay." Massive compilation, commentary, and bibliography based on the collection of abolitionist Samuel May, which was donated to Cornell within two years of the founding of the University. Author's biographical information notes he was born in Alabama and received his undergraduate degree from traditionally black Talladega College, and that he subsequently taught at several other all-black schools. Presumably rare. *OCLC* seems to locate a single physical copy (not surprisingly, at Cornell), and a few additional microform copies.
