Through a mix of fiction and commentary, it reflects the tumultuous atmosphere of its time. The content of this particular volume includes a variety of pieces, starting with a biographical sketch of the author that recounts his youthful adventures and mishaps, such as running away to Boston and his various jobs in New York City. Following this, a humorous yet critical account titled "Stephen H. Branch’s Alligator" explores the chaos in a printing office and the frenzy it creates among newsboys. Other sections, like "Fra Diavolo and His Italian Brigands," offer sharp commentary on political corruption and societal injustices, while snippets on ice cream and bakery politics intertwine absurdity with critique.
