The book provides a comprehensive study of the grammar of the Bornu or Kanuri language, which is spoken in parts of Nigeria, Chad, Niger, and Cameroon. The author, who was a linguist and missionary, presents a detailed analysis of the language's phonology, morphology, and syntax, including its noun and verb systems, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, and conjunctions. The book also includes a section on the language's history and dialects, as well as a glossary of Kanuri words and phrases.
