Saturday Dec. 26th
Today Uncle, Mrs. Dunn and I went
to the Crystal Palace at Sydenham.
Met them at London Bridge station, had
a very pleasant ride by rail after con-
siderable difficulty in getting on a train
owing to the immense crowd of holiday
people, all bound for the Palace; this
being the great holiday of the year, Boxing
Day as they call it here owing I suppose
to presents given on this day. We reached
the Palace safely and spent several
very pleasant hours wandering about
the gigantic building, through its many
courts and about the deligtful gardens
which notwithstanding the inclement time
of the year look very charming. The
place is so immense and there is so much
to be seen and to admire that in the
little time as our disposal we were
enabled merely to take a hasty glance
at everything. As it was we did not
see one half of what was to be seen as
we left very early, about three o'clock.

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.
