times. We walked through the chambers once
of occupied by King William and Queen Mary;
still partly furnished as they were at the
time they were occupied, but now deserted,
lonely and gloomy, and suggestive of grave
reflections. We visited the great hall in
which Wolsey once held his great dinners
and banquets of his day, and which with
its walls hung with trophies and arms of
ancient date would almost remind you
of the semi-barbaric times when ~~the~~ England
was in a state of vassalage. After spending
three or four hours in this wonderful
building we set out on our return; but
before starting we had a comfortable
tea at a house by the river-side. We
reached London quite late in the
evening, rather tired, but altogether
pleased with our days enjoyment

Went up to London. Lizzie and I went
to Victoria Park, before dinner. In the
evening we went to St. Margaret's
Lothbury to hear Mr. Roussel.

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.
