We took up our quarters at the [[Stadt
London]], according to the recommendation
of our road book, it is in one of the nar=
row streets of what is properly speaking
the city, within the walls, this is still
the fashionable part of the town, in
distinction from the numerous
newer, & more airy suburbs by which
it is surrounded; the streets are very
narrow, & crowded, & being without
trattoirs are very unpleasant for
foot passengers, the houses are very
high, & being crowded so closely to=
gether in a carriage one sees very little.

We saw so little of [[Vienna]] however
at this time, that I shall leave farther
mention of it till our return some
months afterward — On the

9th We left for it in a steam boat which
arrived at [[Pesth]] that same evening_ The
boat was rather crowded, but this gave
us some specimen of Hungarian man=
ners as they formed a large proportion
of our party _ They seemed very generally
to know English, & we had a little
conversation with some of them

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.
