Errors and Inconsistencies (noted by transcriber):

_General Notes and Non-Errors:_

The _Eton Grammar_ began in the first half of the 16th century as the _Brevissima Institutio_, later _Rudimenta Grammatices_, by William Lily, Lilly or Lilye (d. 1522). A 1758 revision acquired the name _Eton Latin Grammar_. The headers _Propria quae maribus_ and _As in Præsenti_ are from this book, as is the line "Cum multis aliis quæ nunc perscribere longum est".

If than _is_, _er_, and _or_, it hath many more enders
[_i.e. "many more than..."_]
qui, who or what, and cujas, of what country.
[_uncommon word: not a misprint for "cujus"_]
always recals this beautiful line of Ovid's [_archaic spelling_]
some well-disposed sailor in a melodrame [_archaic spelling_]
Malo a cive spoliari quam ab hoste venire.

Having yeaned, she left the hope of the flock [_archaic word_]
OF THE QUANTITY OF THE FIRST SYLLABLE. [_"first" = non-final_]

Ingens, great, [A]jax, the name of a hero
[_Both syllables in "Ajax" are long. Here, the "j" is to be
pronounced as a "double letter" (technically an affricate) as in
English._]
alter{i}us has always a short _i_ and alIus a long _i_
[_The "i" in "alterius" is conventionally shortened in poetry to
accommodate the metre._]
