It contains views, portraits, and a historical sketch of the university. The 'Introductory Note' here explains that "the views of the old buildings have been reproduced, and along with them a new series representing the buildings on Gilmorehill .... The list of portraits has been greatly extended so as to comprehend not only those contained in the earlier volume but also portraits of the [current] Chancellor, the Members of the University Court, the Rector, the Principal, and others, including all the Professors who have held office since the new buildings were opened."
