The work is divided into three parts dealing with general, specific and reflective prayers for all occasions. Prayers on death, affliction and the vicissitudes of life predominate with two prayers for the use of servants and dwelling on their station in society. The author states in the errata that any inaccuracies are due to their "distance from the press" but nothing else indicates who the author was.
