The title page has a decorative border and very brief text, simply stating that it is Torat Hayyim on numbers 1 through 150 of Shulhan Arukh Orah Hayyim. There are approbations from R. Naphtali ben Mordeai Fischel and R. Zussman (Eliezer) ben (Mordecai Ephraim) Fischel Sofer. There is an introduction from the author, which includes the names of the individuals who assisted in financing publication. The text is in two columns in rabbinic type. On the final page the author’s name is given as J. L. Schreiber Rabbinats-Assesor der Oth. Gemeinde. The second volume is like the first, here encompassing numbers 150 through 202 of Orah Hayyim. Names of the sponsors of publication of this volume are given on the verso of the title page.
