At the beginning of the volume, a table of contents.
Throughout the book, the editor presents novellae by the most prominent heads of the Lithuania yeshivas, some of them who had already died such as Rabbi Naftali Trop, and some of them who were still alive such as Rabbi Yosef Leib Bloch of Telz author of 'Shiurei Da'at' (five novella eat least); Rabbi Chaim of Telz (five novellae); novellae by "GRBD Shalita" [most likely, Rabbi Baruch Ber Leibowitz, the 'Birkat Shmuel', head of the Knesset Yitzchak Yeshiva]. On one of the novellae, he writes: "I have heard from the genius RAZK [Rabbi Avraham Zvi Kamai] Av Beit Din and Ram of Mir".
