Butler Used To Couple This Little Mistake Of His With Another That He Made In The Authoress Of The Odyssey,

When he said, "Scheria means Jutland - a piece of land jutting out into the sea." Jutland, on the contrary, means

The land of the Jutes, and has no more to do with jutting than "waitee" has to do with waiting. - R. A. S.
