Sunday Nov 8
Being a wet miserable day I concluded
to stop at home. Went to St. Paul's
Deptford morning Service. To Zion Chapel
in the evening.

Monday Nov. 9
This has been the celebrated Lord
Mayor's Day, one of the institutions of
London. I have heard it talked
about for a very long time as being
a splendid pagent and accordingly
looked forward to see a splendid
turnout. I was very much disappointed
with it. It was a very poor procession and
certainly not creditable to a city like
London. It was a very childish set out.
Being a bright day the most beautiful
I have yet seen in England, the
streets were crowded with people
of all sorts and conditions, the
rough element seeming to proedominate.
In the evening there is a grand banquet
at Guildhall.

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.
