-ent bridges. This main cut
would probably rejoin the
terminal at a point below out
the town of Ukburpoor, or it
might terminate in the same
way as the main Rajbuha on
the left, by falling into the ravines
of the Seyngoor in the neighbor- 637
hood of the village of [Jinsen ?],
or in those still farther on, near
the town of Moosanuggur.
The lining out of Rajbuhas
on the plan that I have represented,
necessitates the crossing by aqueduct
of every tributary, to which the
main Rajbuhas run at
right angles, but this crossing
by aqueduct is by no means a
very expensive or a very difficult
operation, and its advantages
are so great in enabling us to
provide a main line well
supplied by feeders in a position
capable of provong water into
every corner of the land, that I
don't object even to a moderate
excess of outlay on aqueducts,
if the advantages above described
are well secured.
The Rajbuha irrigation from
the Bolundshuhur and Koel
branches will be conducted on
the same principles as those
above described, viz by parallel
lines of main Rajbuha supplied
by feeders from the different heads;
these however will cease in the
first case on the right bank of
the Kuroon, and before the branch
reaches that river; and in the
latter at the junction of the two
branches. In advance of this
junction

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.
