at Lowesloft, or a village day school near by, but I confess I liked equally well to shoulder my great grandfather's old musket, a regular old "Brown Bess," which I was the happy possessor of, and with a few charges of powder and shot, march to the fields to frighten the rooks and small birds from the newly sown seed, and I will recollect the anger of my father when he discovered that, to make the old gun look more like a fowling piece, I had cut off a long piece of the stock which like all muskets extended nearly up to the muzzle. Again when evening came I was proud to be on the back, sleek and broad as it was, of my favorite '[Dodman?]' as we called him, with his black shining coat, and good tempered looking face, as I took him and his yokefellows on a summer's evening to their night's pasture. 'Gipsey' was my next favorite, she was a 'fast-one' and always ready to give the 'go by' to anything on the road, but her temper was not like my '[Dodman?]'s', no coaxing or cunning would entice her from the meadow easily, she was not to be caught with chaff.

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.
