well supplied from the feeders
which have been so liberally
scattered over the whole length
of the canal : Irrigation will
be obtained with facility on
the whole surface of the land
which comes under their influ-
ence. 622
Commencing therefore
with the left of the Cawnpoor
terminal, in explanation
of the general views that I enter-
tain of the distribution of the
channels. In prolongation of
B B B and from its termination
X in the above Diagram, I would
carry the main or eastern
Assoffnuggur Rajbuha (as it
may be still called) straight for-
ward, keeping it altogther to
the left and free from the heads
of the Rind and the Pesun
rivers. The former I have before
explained lie to the north of
Nanoon and Akrabad; the
latter are situated in the neigh-
borhood of Sikundia Rao.
This main line would proceed
onwards keeping to the most
approved or summit levels
of the strip of land lying between
the Pesun and the east Kalli
Nuddi. I apprehend that the
course would be inapproxi-
mation to the latter : that
it would pass to the north
of the towns of Eyta, Kooraoli,
Bhongaon, [Bewur ?], Chubramoia
and onwards, keeping to the
south of the ruins of Kunoge,
It would terminate in the low
ground of either the Ganges, or
of the Pesun in its proximity
to it.

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.
