The printed book was intended for classroom use. Lines within each selection, both prose and verse, were numbered continuously. These numbers are not used for anything else in the text, such as footnotes or cross-references. In this e-text, prose passages have been rewrapped, discarding the original line breaks. Where the line numbers of the source text are given, verse passages have been renumbered accordingly. Line counts will not always match the stated numbers.
