LOVIsBURG—PAST AND PRESEN‘'.—HONEYMAN. 193 
from a survey made by Richard Gridley, lieutenant-colonel of 
the train of artillery at the siege in 1745. We could not well 
have better authority for our subsequent description. The scale 
is 300 feet to the inch. 
The city and its fortifications occupied a tongue of land which 
formed the south-west side of the harbour. The suburbs seem to 
have been sparsely settled. The only settlements indicated in 
the map which accompanies the plan, are along the north-east 
side of the harbour. The city is divided into squares. Its streets 
run east and west and north and south. Of the former there 
are six in number, of the latter there are seven. The main 
street is No. 3 from the north. It extends from the Maurepas 
Gate on the east, to the Grand Parade, on the west. On this 
street is situate the hospital and the nunnery. The hospital on 
its north side is otherwise bounded by the second street on the 
north, and by the second and fourth cross streets, counting from 
the east the third cross street is intercepted by the hospital, and 
terminates on the main street. The nunnery on the south side 
of the main street is otherwise bounded by street No. 4 and No. 
5. There is a square between this establishment and the grand 
parade. Other buildings named are the ordnance store and the 
general store. Attached to the former are the arsenal and bake 
house. Adjacent is the fortification stores. These occupy a 
grand square in the north-west corner of the city. There are 
three gates having names, viz., Maurepas Gate, already referred 
to, at the east end of Main Street. Queen’s Gate at the south 
end of the second cross street, and Frederick’s Gate on the 
north, opposite the seventh cross street leading to the harbour 
near the general store, and which is called the Key Curtain and 
the West Gate. The length of Main Street from the Maurepas 
Gate to the Grand Parade is 1500 feet. This is the greatest 
length of the city The street north of it is 1300 feet in length. 
This is shortened by the great pond which is on the north-east 
side of the city. It extends, however, farther west than the 
main street, as the latter is shortened by the Place of Arms of 
the citadel, which is on the west of the Grand Parade. The 4th 
eross street has a length of 1300 feet, The fifth street is 1200
