Passages in italics are indicated by _italics_. The original text includes Greek characters. For this text version these letters have been replaced with transliterations. Several of the poems appear in the middle of a paragraph. They have been left as placed in the original text. In the index, the original text used SMALL CAPITALS to indicate authors of the complete monologues and CAPITALS to indicate the subjects of lessons. In order to differentiate the two in this text version, =SMALL CAPITALS= has been used to indicate authors of the complete monologues. The following misprints have been corrected: "'" corrected to "i'" (page 38) "call st" corrected to "callest" (page 38) "attenton" corrected to "attention" (page 72) "Muleykeh" standardized to "Muleykeh" (page 111) "in" corrected to "is" (page 195) "al" corrected to "all" (page 205) Other than the corrections listed above, inconsistencies in spelling and hyphenation have been retained from the original.
