Sunday May 21st

For the first time in my life I worked
all night without rest on Friday night
and all day yesterday up till eight o'clock
being an extent of 37 hours, and I feel
quite exhausted today, in consequence.
We have a great deal of extra work at
our place; the regualr hours are very
long and exhaustive; and the over-time
in addition, is quite killing. This overtime
business is the cause of England; it is
carried out to a very injurious extent; but
it seems very strange to me that one set
of people should be worked to death
while another set is starving, who would
be thankful for an hour's work.
I got to bed very early this evening,
and this morning Tom and I in company
of another gentleman took a walk
along the Brighton Railway. After
tea Tom, his wife and I walked to the
Park and the Heath.

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.
