The range of subjects indicates a rich tapestry of intellectual engagement and illustrates the vibrant culture of inquiry present during that time. The opening of this edition introduces several thematic sections, including notes on historical figures, etymological inquiries, and literary anecdotes. Each entry typically presents a query followed by responses, allowing readers to engage with diverse ideas ranging from the origins of words like "Yankee" to the literary influences of figures such as William Cowper.
