Anthony Emenheiser, whoever he is/was, wishes to appear as a radical and writes on the verso of the title-page, "This work is especially dedicated to mothers and wives and sinful sons and husbands, and to young ladies and gentlemen who are conquered by intemperate habits. This work will be found valuable to such. A short collection of Radical Poems from the pen of J. Anthony Emenheiser." The longest poem is the title piece, "Anti-Destruction" (pp. 3-12), which is followed by "Drink God's Forest Brewed Liquor" (pp. 13-20), "From a Princely Birth to an Intemperate Grave" (pp. 21-28), and "A Flower from God's House" (pp. 29-32).
