Moreover we are in a position to demonstrate on view of the other 

 plans above referred to and by liis own d.ocuments, that this red star is 

 carried by Mr. Doughty 



1st. Too far north, and 



2ndly. Too far east, — 

 though he affirms, Vol. Ill, p. 204, that " there is no longer any possible 

 doubt where he (Wolfe) fell;" and he refers to the indication on the 

 King's map, in the British Museum as a proof. It would have been 

 more satisfactory to the reader to have seen reproduced and published 

 that small part of this large ma{p (a copy being in the possession of 

 the authors (Vol. VI, p. 281), in order to let him judge for himself, 

 instead of relying on Mr. St. MicheFs average plan, who remains con- 

 victed of previous fatal errors. Perhaps we might, on examination, find 

 him and the authors again in error on this aiS on the other points above 

 referred to. 



Moreover this famous very large map^ was made abroad, a certain 

 time after the battle, and borrowed and compiled from maps on a small 

 scale then in existence, and not from actual operations on the ground; 

 and it must not clash with these; and moreover ought not to counter- 

 balance the certain knowledge and convincing evidence of the witnesses 

 who remained on the spot, at Quebec, and visited it for years thereafter 

 as a shrine of glorious reverence and deep sympathy. 



Let us assume for the moment that this red star points to the corre- 

 sj)onding place on the King's map. It is easily proved that all the three 

 companies of the Louisbourg Grenadiers stood, not on the eminence of 

 and in front of the gaol, nor in front of the monument, but somewhat", 

 further down on the slope from this eminence, beginning therefrom and 

 in the direction of the river, exactly where Mr. Doughty, in first 

 instance had placed the Otway; and therefore the whole right wing of 

 Wolfe must be drawn nearer to the verge of the cliff, because : 



(a) The first plan of St. Michel (Paper, p. 378), renders this clear- 

 ly apparent by the position occupied by the Otway near the brink of 

 the cliff, and not adjoining the gaol as shown on the second plan; 



(b) On Jefferys' plan, the official one accompanying the dispatches, 

 the same Otway will also be found close to the 'cliff and the Louisbourg 

 Grenadiers, on the slope, a little in advance on its left; 



(c) The other correct plan of Jefferys', Vol. II, p. 272, "considered 

 of great irruportance," Vol. VI, p. 280, places no less than five regiments 

 on the south side of Louis road, including two of them further south 

 than the lowex road of the Plains, and therefore these two are, on the 



^ The scale is not g"iven, but we calculate it to be 100 feet to 1 inch.
