clover, which had not yet been harvested
and from which I inferred that the Harvest
was much later in England than at home.
We passed within two miles of the town of Dover,
which stretches along the beach for a consider-
able distance and appears to be a town of
considerable size. Just back of the town
on the highest hill stands the Castle, a
great irregular gloomy looking pile of
buildings of dark looking stone. As the
Captain was kind enough to lend me a
glass I had an opportunity of inspecting
it much closer. Along the Cliff at the edge
of the sea there runs a sailway, which in
several places is carried through tunnels
cut through the chalky face of the Cliffs.
Soon after leaving Dover in the distance
we rounded the South Foreland a
bold primentory. It was from about
here that we could trace the faint
outline of the coast of France, which
owing to the clearness of the air we were
enabled to do. After rounding the point
we came in view of Walmar [Walmer?] Castle

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
