A note dated October 1901 explains that the defences in the volume first appeared in The Speaker and are reprinted, revised and enlarged, by the editor's leave. The contents list defences of penny dreadfuls, rash vows, skeletons, publicity, nonsense, planets, china shepherdesses, useful information, heraldry, ugly things, and farce, plus a defence of a new edition. Only the front matter and contents are present here.
