call your own, that it is impossible to think
of anything but hard work. I went up
to London this morning. Attended
Divine Service at Cripplegate Church.
Sermon by the Vicar Mr. Gilbert. Took
dinner and tea with Uncle. After tea
I walked to Newington to hear Mr.
Spurgeon. After an hours walk and some
little difficulty I found his Tabernacle.
It is an immense plain looking building.
I found a large crowd standing on
the steps and in front of the building
and taking my position as near as possible
to the door I waited patiently for it to open.
As soon as the doors opened, there was a
grand rush for seats in which I joined
and got carried bodily without any effort
into the building and was able to
to secure a seat although there were
but few vacant, most of the seats being
held by ticket holders who are admitted
privately. The interior presented a
beautiful sight. It is fitted up like
an amphitheatre being of an elliptical

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.
