The text focuses on the structure and rules of the Chippeway language, providing a systematic approach to understanding its grammar and vocabulary.

The opening portion of the work introduces various elements of the Chippeway language, beginning with a brief overview that includes the author’s acknowledgment of the imperfections in the text, which serves as both an exercise and a formal introduction to the language. The text offers lists of words pertaining to different syllable structures and accents, demonstrating the complexity of pronunciation.
