The complete publication is bound inside, including the original wrappers. At the beginning is a complete list of publications for volume three, extending from 1893 to 1896. Then comes the list of officers for the Society for 1896-1897, followed by the inaugural address of the president. Following are twelve articles on early Los Angeles schools and schoolmasters; early governor Portola; Michael White; renegade Indians at San Gabriel; Antonio Maria Lugo; a defense of the missions; an account of a ride on the Butterfield stage in 1860; Jedediah Smith; General John Mansfield; the value of historical societies; historic houses of Los Angeles; and the capture of Monterey by Thomas Ap Catesby Jones in 1842. At the end are reports of the Society's publication committee, secretary, treasurer, and curator. The total number of pages is 77. On the inside front cover is the ex-libris label of a former owner. With little evidence of use and, therefore, of wear, the artifact is in good condition.Lexicon
