the Year Round by Charles Dickens. I slept
pretty much all the time between the stations
and as the night was bitterly cold I was
not sorry when we reached Liverpool which
we did in early morning about half past
three. Through the recommendation of
the guard we obtained lodging at a
respectable house in the vicinity of the
station, and opposite to the celebrated
St George's Hall said to be the finest
building in England. Here I stopped
till Saturday, and as I had nothing to
do after securing our passage, I had a
fine opportunity of looking around the town.
On Monday morning I walked down to the
Office and secured the berths, and in the
afternoon I took a ride on the Mersey on
one of the numerous ferry boats plying on
that river. In the evening I went to
the Star Music Hall. Went to bed pretty

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.
