at a halfpenny each, to the fishmonger
with his cartfull of fish, or the crockery merchant
who standing in his cart shows to the admiring
crowd who stand around him the quality
of his wares and his skill and dexterity in
handling them by tossing a half dozen of
plates in the air at one time and catching
them as they fall. Then there is the doctor
with his stand lecturing with [?]
voice upon the chest and lungs and the
diseases attending them and other parts of
the body, talking care all the while to im-
press upon his hearers that the only remedy
for them and all complaints to which
the human body is heir too is the "Concen-
trated Essence of Sarsaparilla" which he has
to dispose of to them at the low price of
6d. per bottle or 1d. per glass. There are

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.
