in the southeastern part of London, goodbye, I
bad farewell to New Cross, a place with which
I have been so unhappily acquainted for so
long a time. I spent the day at Uncles, whose
place I left late in the evening for Euston
Square, being accompanied to that place by
Miss Dunn and Lizzie. At the station I
met Mr. Jewell, Mr. Emerson, Mr. Brain and
Thomas who had come to bid me a final fare-
well and to see me safely off. I had a
very comfortable night ride to Liverpool, but
I did not see much of the scenery.
The landscape of course being shrouded in
gloom, and the speed of the train being so
great, as to preclude the possibility of
seeing much even in daylight. I had
a very pleasant travelling companion in
a young man bound for Rio Janeiro
who I understood from his own admission
was running away from his creditors.
The train stopped at but few stations, among
which was Rugby which is supposed to be
identical with Mugby Junction, the scene
of the last Christmas number of All

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.
