some ofthe old German towns — I should
think the houses have probably been
a good deal modernised, & even in those
which retain the ornamented gabel
there is a flatness, & want of any sort
of projection to give light & shadow _

I admire the interior ofthe Ca=
thedral here more than any that I
have seen, it is less encumbered by
subdivisions, pictures, images &) [et cetera],
which enables one to enjoy the full
effect of the many pillars & arches
ofits triple aisles — We went to the
evening mass, on entering the church
we found a sermon about to be preached,
in one part of it, I took my seat, & there
discovered that it was in Flemish &
therefore unintelligible to me though very
like German _ Afterwards the evening
service commenced atthe Altar, & we
took our station about the centre ofthe
church — The great assembled multi=

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.
