The book describes the dialect of the time in Strathearn.
It describes phonology and grammar with additional material such as

Wilson used his own phonetic transcription but does provide an explanation

Wilson has also published other works using the same approach.

Scottish Poems of Roburt Burns in his native Dialect (1925)
The Dialects of Central Scotland (1926)
