Wonderful! A high-quality work for the undergraduate of brilliant quality. First rate stuff, but DO NOT READ if you want to get a good degree these days, since the methods of introducing some of the subjects in these works is quite different to how physics is taught today - particularly the 3rd volume on Quantum Mechanics....
I always love these deep insightful lectures - such a completely original mind. Not always easy to follow... But, these were delivered at Caltech, perhaps the finest place in the world to study physics at the time (apart from in Russia, with Lev Landau), so the standards were pretty tough - and even then, many of the students complained that these were too "off beat" for them to be able to swallow and regurgitate in their final exams. You have been warned! But real wisdom isn's always "easy" and does take time to digest and should not really simple be puked out into an exam paper. Sadly, in today's world, when university lecturers are marked on their performance by the students, such works of genius like this would never arise in our society where everyone has to pass.
