The History of Technic Civilization
Box 1: League And Empire
I Rise Of The Polesotechnic League
II Decline Of The Polesotechnic League
III Rise Of The Terran Empire
Box 2: Empire
IV Young Flandry Of The Terran Empire
V Outposts Of The Terran Empire
Box 3: Empire And After
VI Captain Flandry Of The Terran Empire
VII Admiral Flandry And The Children Of The Terran Empire
VIII After The Terran Empire
This gives Boxes 2 and 3 a kind of symmetry: both comprise Flandry followed by non-Flandry.
Volume V, Outposts Of The Terran Empire, would contain only:
"Outpost of Empire"
The Day Of Their Return
Recently, we referred to Freeholders in the former and to Jaan in the latter. I will probably reread "Outpost of Empire."

Kaor, Paul!
I don't mind boring or overdone! So, here goes! I don't think volume I should be called RISE OF THE POLESOTECHNIC LEAGUE because Anderson wrote no stories showing us the origins or early years of the LEAGUE. How about NICHOLAS VAN RIJN AND THE POLESOTECHNIC LEAGUE? The volume would include the earliest stories we have about Old Nick and David Falkayn.
Title for your proposed Volume IV, YOUNG FLANDRY OF THE TERRAN EMPIRE seems awkward to me. I would suggest DOMINIC FLANDRY AND THE TERRAN EMPIRE.
For Volume VIII I would propose THE POST IMPERIAL AGE. And I would include, as an appendix, the original texts of the stories Anderson revised. Such as the original versions of "Margin of Profit," "Tiger By The Tail," "Honorable Enemies," etc. The revised versions are now the canonical texts.
