Recent quarterbinding marbled boards attractively backed in leather. 31 cm. Horizontal crease as usual on frontis. Other internal soiling and wear but generally sound. No jacket. When we got this book the binding was beyond repair. We had the binder preserve and mount a small piece less than the size of a business-card of the original endpaper on which Locke had INSCRIBED this copy to Dorothy Maynor the talented singer and founder of the Harlem School of the Arts. The three panels of the Amistad Murals done on canvas by Hale Woodruff and located in Savery Memorial Library at Talladega College in Talladega Alabama are illustrated in color on the center pages of the unnumbered four page section which is found after page 124. These mural panels were unveiled in 1939 just a year before publication of this book. The unnumbered Amistad Murals section may have been a last minute addition to the book. The section is described on the Contents page as facing page 124. We don't know whether it was present in all copies of the 1940 edition. Associates in Negro Folk Education hardcover

18215359New Haven Conn.: A. H. Maltby and Co. 1821. Hardcover. Good. Rare American imprint by a publisher active from about 1819-1850 who began publishing the Yale Literary Review; book first published in 1709. This title is often confused with a book published in 1836 in France by Baron von Holbach; Holbach's book is anti-organized religion and Trenchard's is not; Trenchard was a former Quaker who theorized that 'transports' etc. attributed to God are owing to natural causes. Title page mistakenly attributes this title to John Locke the reason for this is unknown; we found a list of books misattributed to Locke in a Locke bibliography but this is not on it. This is a chapbook about 3in x 5in recently bound in nice leather with marbled endpapers; new binding is near fine the chapbook only good original covers discolored stained rubbed and chipped; chip and tear to side edge of chapbook front cover closed with non-acidic Filmoplast P; many pages have been turned down and most have worn creased corners; pages stained and darkened; stain to top edge and foreedge; foreedge stain mostly visible on p51-52; corners of rear blank flyleaf torn off; 52pp. <br/> <br/> A.
