numerous channels, and would
finally obtain relief through
numerous Rajbuha escapes;
it would in fact enable us
to destroy the enemy in detail
instead of allowing him to
collect in dangerous masses.
9th By the rule above laid down
the whole system of main canal 593
branches, Rajbuhas and their
feeders, become part and parcel
of one great machine; the
Rajbuha heads being the safety
valves, and the Rajbuha escapes
being the waste pipes. If pro-
perly managed, and if the
sluice heads attached to the
canal are properly adjusted,
it is supposed that the scheme
above propounded would lead
to the maintenance of such
an equilibrium in the height
of the waters surface, that no
apprehension might be en-
tertained for the main canal
or reservoir channels being
dangerously overlooked
In the general design
for the Ganges canal, and in the
calculations on the supply of
water required for irrigation; the
leading 27 1/2 miles, or that part
including the Khadir, and ex-
tending on the high land be-
yond it, as far as the village
of Nuseerpoor, are "considered
"as removed from the influence
"of irrigation from their passing
"through Khadir land in the
"early part of their course, and
"deep digging immediately above
Nusseerpoor"

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.
