The political Reasons, that induced the French Ministry to settle and fortify it. From all which may be seen, its great Importance to France, but of how much greater it might have been to England.

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.

To which are added notes and observations by a gentleman, who resided there several years. Most humbly inscribed to the Hon. Edward Boscawen, Esq;.
