These three volumes are perhaps the best starting point for O F S collectors. This set carries the inscription \"To Andre Bezuidenhout from Archie Batten 27.7.87\" on all three fly-leaves. Bezuidenhout kept these volumes unmarked and in near original, and used standard volumes as his working set.
All three volumes in this set are full bound in dark-blue calf, with gilt lettering to the spines. All have matching marbled endpapers. The top page edges of Vols 1 and 2 are tinted in blue. All three page edges of Vol 3 are gilt.
The preliminary pages are typeset, with the rest of the text being derived from camera-ready typewriter copy arranged with the figures, some of which fold out.
Part I. The Republican Era 1854-1900. 282 pp + 4 pp of advertisements.
