Wednesday Sept 26

I had a holiday today, Lizzie and I started
of again for Hampton Court but it came
on so excessively rainy that we changed
our minds and went to the British Museum
instead. We stopped here two hours and then
went to the Polytecnic Institution ~~instead~~
where we spent a very entertaining afternoon.
We went to Drury Lane in the evening and
saw the play of King John, which character
was splendidly acted by Mr Phelps.

Saturday Sept. 29

Went around to Uncle's. Lizzie and I
took a walk over Blackfriars Bridge.

Sunday Sept 30

Went up to London very early and break-
fasted with Uncle. After breakfast Lizzie
and I started off on our third attempt
to reach Hampton Court. We walked to
Waterloo Station, and went by train.
The day was very dull and we were very
apprehensive of rain, but it held off
and we spent a very pleasant day in
exploring the wonderful spot, so celebrated

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.
