The first volume contains mathematical problems, which appear to be college exercises (1814); the second volume is an essay on the projection of the sphere and spherical trigonometry, including an appendix on astronomy (1812); and the third volume is a lecture on natural philosophy, apparently prepared for delivery [n.d.].

This treatise includes experiments on eletricity (with mentions of B. Franklin), ballooning (mentions of J. P. Blanchard), pharmacology, chemistr, and hydraulics. Included is a sketch of Woulfe's bottle for passing gases through liquids (Peter Woulfe, 1767).
