rest and refreshment we started off
to take a wak and inspect the town.
It is a very quaint little town and is
situated on the banks of the river Ouse
a very small stream, which flows into
the Sea and is navigable for barges and
small vessels. The town is surrounded
by lofty hills on all sides and appears
quite shut in from the world. After looking
about the town we started for a walk on
the Downs as the Hills are called, passing
on our way the old castle of [Leives?], which
is now in ruins, covered with ivy. The
Downs are bleak looking hills upon which
many flocks of sheep were fattening for
the London market the best sheep being
grown here. In some places the Downs break
abruptly into frightful cliffs which are
of [immense?] heights and very dangerous.
After scrambling about the hills and
cliffs for three hours enjoying the de-
lightful breeze from the sea which
we could just see in the distance
we returned to dinner, which we enjoyed

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.
