Tuesday Dec 27

Went this evening to the Deptford Institute
to see [Basic?] Young in his entertainment
called "The [Asergies?".

January 1st 1865

The beginning of the new year has been very
changable as regards the weather. Early this
morning there was a slight sprinkle of snow
and two or three times throughout the day
but the afternoon has been fine
I have no changes to record since last
year. Everything remains exactly the same
and I begin to think that London life
as regards the working people like my self
~~[?]~~ is the most monotonous life in
existence. Every day is the same thoughout the
year. I have been here many months now
and I have not contracted a single
friendship or succeeded in getting
into any society; in fact I don't think
there is any society to get into. I am
beginning to get heartily sick of it
Went up to London and and spent the
day with Uncle T.; went to St Stephen's

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.
