7th The main lines of Rajbuha
as running parallel and ap=
proximately to the natural
lines of Country drainage
are connected with them by
Escapes [wide?] X X in Diag:
which might be multiplied
to any reasonable extent, so
as to give the most efficient
means for riddance from
superfluous water;
8th It is supposed that during
floods when the Main Canal
and its branches are overcharged,
the opening out of the Rajbuha
heads and the consequent
distribution of the surplus water over
such extended surfaces, as the
above system of reticulated
Rajbuha Channel Ensures
would tend greatly to the
security of the works, by a
relief of the Escapes
proper, from
dangerous and collected
drainage; that obtained by
the medium of the Rajbuhas
would be divided amoungst

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.
