protest as it was church-time. We
were at length obliged to quit the Public
House, and the rain still continuing,
we went to the pier with the intention of
taking the boat the rest of the way.
We stood on the pier shivering with
the cold, under a slight roof which scarcely
protected us from the drifting rain, for
more than an hour waiting for the boat
to make its appearance; amusing our-
sevles as best we could. It was a
very picturesque spot, and the view from
the pier in the middle of the river was
very fine, and under any other circumstances
would have been very charming. The old
bridge at Kew was a very prominent object
and under one of its arches there stood
a man fishing, which added to the beauity
of the scene. We accosted the man and
inquired whether he was catching,
any thing. He answered that he was
only catching a cold; we thought

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.
