This pamphlet is 38 numbered pages in length, and is not illustrated. The overall theme of the book concerns the value of education to common laborers.

The crux of the author's argument appears on p. 25: "The value that is created and added to matter by labor is in the ratio of the skill of the worker or the appropriateness of his exertions and the rapidity with which they are made. ... When the mind is torpid, the hand works alone, and for want of a watchful guide it moves in an uncertain manner and with doubtful effect..." The embossed ownership stamp of the Essex Institute is stamped in the upper right-hand corner of the title page. A Dewey Decimal call number is written in ms. on the verso of the title page.
