The content of this particular volume includes a mix of light-hearted verse, humorous essays, and illustrations that lampoon societal norms, recent events, and public figures. The edition features a seasonal sonnet from a vegetarian's perspective on Christmas, critiques of theatrical performances, and playful commentary on political happenings, showcasing both the culture of the time and the issues that affected the British public.
