we have yet had. Although it was Sunday
there appeared to be a great number of vessels
of all descriptions proceeding up and down the
river. We passed along the front of the noble
building we saw from the river as we came
up on my arrival; the Naval Asylum.
It is built of a whitish sort of stone and
covers an immense piece of ground. There
were plenty of the old [Tars?] walking about in
their peculiar dress, blue cloth clothes and
a very wide-brimmed hat; they were mostly
old and decrepit although we met some
apparently very young men. We returned
by way of Charlton + Black Heath. This
evening we went to the old church of
St. Paul's Deptford, a very fine edifice.
Not being very well situated at my
cousins as regards conveniences for
reading and writing I spoke to him
this afternoon upon the propriety of
changing my residence for one a little
nearer my place of business. He
very much opposed it on the grounds
that I could not better my condition any way.

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.
