- P. 336-337 "The scene is as grateful as it is novel, in benighted Persia, to behold Nestorian mothers leading their little girls to school, and often lingering, a half hour, with delightful interest, to hear them read. Notwithstanding their hard lots, - their not being allowed to eat with the men-their laboring in the fields- their ignorance and general degradation, Nestorian females still possess some very interesting traits of character. I have never seen mothers more affectionately attached to their children than among this people." This mother is wearing a plaid cloak around her upper body and a plain kerchief on her head. The cloak is worn over a full, wide tunic and trousers. Her little girl is wearing a full length tunic and a long jacket.

- P. 319 "Scores of Nestorian girls come into our yard regularly, morning, noon and night, and carry water from our reservoir, with "Rebecca's pitcher," upon their shoulders. The vessel which they use is, however, an earthern jug, rather than a pitcher, as indicated in this accompanying drawing." This young Nestorian girl is wearing trousers and a knee-length tunic.

- Notes:
- This image of a Persian scribe shows him dressed very well in a yellow tunic covered by the caba (Shorberl 1845, p. 34) or qaba (Vogalsang-Eastwood, p. 10). Under the tunic he wears long shalwar. On his feet he wears socks and slippers with heels. His hat is the kolah namadi (Vogelsang-Eastwood, p. 12) seen in many of this book's illustrations. This scribe also wears the beard and mustache of this region.
