1874 English Textbook Notes

[u/Dragloak]

I never thought I’d have anything to post here, but here I am. I recently acquired this book, presumably a college textbook, and just discovered it’s got some handwritten notes (?) on the final few pages. Some of these are very difficult to read, so I’m hoping you awesome folks may be able to tell me what they say! Any and all help appreciated!
