An Accurate description of Cape Breton
Subtitle: with respect to its situation, soil, climate, ports, harbours, forces, and productions both natural and artificial : the political reasons, that induced the French ministry to settle and fortify it : from which all may be seen, its great importance to France, but of how much greater it might have been to England : with a circumstantial account of the taking and surrendering of the city and garrison by the New-England forces, &c. commanded by General Pepperell in 1745 : a work especially at this critical juncture, the more interesting, as the French seem to be ardently desirous of dispossessing us of Nova Scotia also : illustrated with an exact map of the island, and a plan of the city and port of Louisbourg, taken from an actual survey, and references to the Journal of the siege
By: to which are added notes and observations by a gentleman, who resided there several years
