The volume principally includes a transcript of Hildyards Catalogue of Mayors and Sheriffs of York, published in 1664, with additional notes relating to Mayors and Sheriffs of York to 1727. The entries in the volume relate to the years 1273 - 1727.

The volume also includes several printed notices relating to the governance of the City of York, written information provided about the volume by the Yorkshire Philosophical Society [YPS], printed bookplates showing ownership of the volume by the YPS, and a manuscript list of parish in York, which is included at the back of the volume.
