It is a collection of essays and observations on the social and cultural life of the town, particularly in the mid-19th century.

The book covers a wide range of topics, including the theater, opera, fashion, society, and politics. The author provides witty and often satirical commentary on the various aspects of town life, offering insights into the manners and customs of the upper classes.
