ON CAPE BRETON.

Cape Breton." It also gives a part of the plate, "plan of the attack," (v. 471), whicli is in Mante's " History of the 

 Late War." Jefferys' plans incorrectly call " Green " also " Goat Island," whereas the latter name was always 

 given to the rocky islet on which the battery defending the harbour was built. Good views of the town and 

 fortress are not in existence. Dr. Winsor gives three illustrations in the " Narrative and Critical History " (v. 447, 

 466) one of them from a painting in the possession of Mrs. Anna H. C. Howard, of Brooklyn, N.Y., which came to 

 her by descent from SirAV. Pepperrell, and the two others from the coast views that accompany DesBarres' hydro- 

 graphic surveys. These views were published in 1779, and an excellent copy of the whole work is in the Ottawa 

 ■parliamentary library. I give a sketch of one of these drawings. The view is supposed to be from the northeast: 

 a ship is coming through the entrance, and the lighthouse battery is on the right. It appears largely imaginary, 

 as the fortress was not in existence when it was printed, in 1779. It is curious] that no elaborate JFrencirviews 

 are in existence, so far as known. None certainly in Canada.

Nicholas Bellin's plans of Louisbonrg and Quebec were frequently reproduced in England, Holland and Ger- 

 many in the middle of last century. For instance, I have before me a sheet, 24 x 22 in., with the heading: 

 Vorstellung einigor Gogenden und Plaetzo in Nord America unter Franzoesisch und Knglische Jurisdiction 

 gehoerig zu finden bey den Homaennischen Eiben in Nurnberg, A° 17.56. It contains (1) " Plan du Port et Ville 

 de Louisbonrg dans I'Isle Royale ; (2) plan de la Ville de Quebec." Both are the plans of Bellin given in Charle- 

 voix. The third is in English : " Plan of the town of Halifax in Nova Scotia," and is coloured like the other two. 

 It is a reproduction of a " Plan dea havens von Cliebuctou und der stadt Halifax (Hamburgh, 1751). The maps 

 being pirated the author's name is not given in any case.
