The work is programmatic in psychology only. It begins with a "Midsummer Idyl," which embodies the drowsy petulance of hot noon. The second number is "Will o' the Wisps."

Further experience has proved to both that they were mistaken; but they had to wait fifty centuries for this experience. During that long time, mankind believed in a uniformity of the course of nature where no such uniformity really existed. According to the notion which the ancients entertained of induction, the foregoing were cases of as legitimate inference as any inductions whatever.
In giving an account of the Umbrella, it would not be right to omit mentioning another, and far from legitimate use in which it has been employed by notoriety-hunting artistes we allude to the Parachute; and a short narration of its origin and progress may not be uninteresting to our readers.
