Odessa stands in a bare flat
country part of the interminable
Russian plain, with scarcely a
tree except some acacias that have
been nourished up about the town,
& about [[Count Woronzow]]'s house,
indeed they say that trees only
last about fifteen years here -
The shore is very ugly - It reminds
me alogether, both from ^the bleakness
without grandeur of the shore, &
the bareness ofthe surrounding
country, as also from the position
in which it stands of [[Brighton]],
though a very rough & very minia=
ture imitation of[[Brighton]] - The
clouds of dust are beyond all that
can be described, like what one can
fancy in an Arabian desert -

In spite ofthis [[Odessa]], has be=
come a sort of resort of all nations
growing out of sand & dust & bar=
barism, into greatness & importance.
It is like a Babel for confusion of

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.
