There were people of high rank among
them, though one would not have
found it out in seeing them sitting
smoking their pipes, unless it were
by a certain superciliousness of
manner, & by finding that they were
to have a table on deck apart for
themselves — I was amused by one
of them, allowing his nationality
to get the better of his dignity, he was
the most polished of the groupe, &
we had noticed him sitting reading
an English book, ( [[Walter Scott]]'s life I
think.) As we approached [[Vissegrad]]
the former residence of the [[Hungarian
Kings]], I was making preparations
to draw it, which interested him so
much that he condescended to volun=
teer making acquaintance with us,
got my sketch book to look over, & put
me right as to ^the names of any of the places I had
drawn within his native land; for it
seemed as if any thing connected with
it were a chord which to touch was
irresistable. There was also a
Brother of [[Prince Esterhazy]]'s on board

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.
