A scanned report outlines debt across European states totaling about 86.75 billion francs with a metallic currency of roughly 6.5 billion francs. It notes how exported sums and external losses affect the debt, alongside remarks on British military additions and various global exploits and curiosities.

It mentions devils in work, Brock in a cubby, ducking and Tebbing, and a working shop with a paper and books, with references to an old shoe used as a receptacle for broken types. The passage is difficult to interpret but centers on hard manual printing labor and eccentric figures.
