The journal features a variety of articles, illustrations, and anecdotes that reflect the interests and concerns of its time, giving readers insight into the social fabric of Ireland in that era. Its content is largely historical and biographical, focusing on notable figures and events in Irish history. The issue includes a rich narrative about Thomas Coghlan, known as "the Maw," the last descendant of an ancient family, and his peculiar life as a local authority figure who adhered to ancient Irish customs. The account explores his interactions with both the gentry and the common people, highlighted by a humorous incident involving the decoding of an old stone inscription. Through storytelling and character sketches, the journal captures Coghlan's eccentricity and the fading traditions of the Irish tanistry system. Additionally, it touches upon the plight of a peculiar family living on Staten Island, and included poetry that reflects on loss and longing. Overall, the publication aims to connect its readers to Ireland's past and its cultural identity through engaging narratives and humor.
