This publication features a collection of articles, stories, and poetic works reflecting the literary and cultural sentiment of the time, focusing on various themes, including personal anecdotes, social commentary, and imaginative fiction. The specific opening piece, "The Plague at Constantinople," describes an eye-witness account of the devastating effects of the plague in the mid-nineteenth century. At the start of the magazine, the narrator recounts their personal experience living in Galata, a suburb of Constantinople during the plague epidemic of 1837. The narrative paints a grim picture of the environment plagued by death, isolation, and fear. The narrator describes the quarantine measures they and a small family take to avoid infection while observing the death of many others around them.
