Having thus explained
the disposition of the works
in regard to the Noon river I
shall now proceed with the
detail of those on the main
line of the canal which I left
at the 149th mile at the village
of Nurhea. The extensive hol-
lows which, by the intersection
of the canal both above and
below this village, are cut
off from the slopes of the Noon,
to which they naturally belong,
will be drained into the Seyngoor
aided by a cut marked in
the Diagram A B, which will
connect them with a line of
low land commencing
under the town of Akburpoor,
and continuing uninterruptedly
to the Ravine heads bordering
the Seyngoor river.
From the 149th mile the
canal pursues a course to
the south east, passing (between
the 151st and 152nd mile) the town
of Ukburpoor which lies about
half a mile on the right; at
this point the high road between
Etawah and Cawnpoor crosses
the canal. To the 163rd mile the
canal proceeds evenly over a
high and well cultivated country
passing the village of Girsee
which lies close to the right
and immediately opposite
the 161st mile; at the 162nd
mile, and about 400 yards
from the village
of Rhutgaon which lies on the
left

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.
