Page 1 of Dr Otto Hartung Spohr's formalised list for Wilhelm Bleek's opinion pieces for the English edition of Het Volksblad (1862-1866). The articles mentioned date from 24 June 1862 to 22 June 1865. n.d. TS. Otto Spohr (1908-1980) was a notable biographer of Wilhelm Bleek. Despite the current (2025) BC 151 fonds description and Atom Project metadata using the phrase 'some [own emphasis] of the leading articles', these are all of Bleek's English opinion pieces apart from his missing feature on the Kotzé v Murray case for 25 August 1864.
