they consist of bridges with
shutters, placed both across the
canal immediately below the
departure of the branch, and
across the head of the branch
itself, the upstream wings of the
two bridges being connected by
a curved masonry revetment;
and as high as the level of the
berm, with a redan shaped
retaining wall, forming an
angle equal to that of the de-
-parture of the branch salient
to the stream. The two sides of
this redan, are designed in Ghats
or flights of steps, which give
the means of access to the canal
water from the esplanade [which, struck through]
[lies, struck through] on a level with the berm;
the higher levels or platform
[which, struck through] corresponding with the road-
-ways of the bridges are reached
by stairs laterally arranged in
the curved wall [which connects, struck through] connecting
the wings.

The bridges are in all
cases furnished with masonry

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.
