John Trusler wrote on a wide range of subjects, and founded his Literary Society as an alternative to the Royal Society. This work is a cosmography for youth on human anatomy, music, builders, cabinet makers, crime, law and war.  

Each section has illustrations to the head by the noted engraver Thomas Bewick.   Bewick is particularly known for his work 'A History of Quadrupeds'.
