the Docks and shipping with which they were
filled. In the afternoon I crossed the river
to Birkenhead Park a most lovely spot.
In the evening after a hearty meal at the
boarding house I went to the Theatre Royal
to an entertainment by the [Chrisby's?] Minstrels.
On Wednesday I strolled about the town
looking at the various objects of interest
until six oclock when I met Lizzie at
Lime St Station. We had supper and
a walk, and then sat for an hour upon
the noble portico of St Georges Hall.
On Thursday Lizzie and I took a walk
to see the ship, after which we crossed
the river and spent several hours in
Birkenhead Park. We then returned and
visited the Museum in which is a large
collection of curiosities, but of course
nothing in comparison with the British
Museum in London. After tea we took a
stroll and rested for an hour on St.
George's Porch. We retired early pretty
much tried out. Friday we spent pretty
much the same way except we visited

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.
