Engraved by F. W. Topham. Size 5x7.
1826— PLAINS OF ABRAHAM, QUEBEC, 1839-41— View .looking
towards the west. The artist errs in calling it "The spot where General
Wolfe fell." The present monument more correctly has it, "Here died
Wolfe victorious." He fell at the head of his army a few hundred paces
nearer the city than the site of the memorial, and was carried to the rear
after receiving his fatal wound. Drawn by W. H. Bartlett. Engraved by
R. Wallis. Size 5x7. See 2821.

Bartlett. Engraved by S. Bradshaw. Size 5x7.
1828— SQUAW'S GRAVE OF THE EARLY DAYS— On Lake Deschenes,
near Aylmer. Bartlett, in his "Canadian Scenery," says that as a rule the
graves of the Indians were of a long, narrow shape, protected from attack
on the part of wild animals by an outer covering of split wood, bound
together with branches, and within this was a covering of birch bark,
beneath which was placed the body, covered with sand. Blueberry Point
is seen in the distance in the picture. Drawn by W. H. Bartlett. Engraved
by J. C. Bentley. Size 5x7.

formerly Dorchester, a quaint, French-looking little town in the Seigniory
of Longeuil, is the capital of St. John's County, Que. It was at one time
of considerable importance as a fortified post, commanding the line of
approach by the Champlain Valley. In the campaigns of 1776-7 St. John's
was one of the chief bases of supply for the troops of Burgoyne and Carle-
ton. The bridge connects the town with St. Athanase on the opposite
ishore of the river. Drawn by W. H. Bartlett. Engraved by J. Carter.
1831— HALLOWELL, U.C. (PICTON), 1839-41— The present town of
Picton, on the Bay of Quinte, in Prince Edward County, was formerly
known as Hallowell, west of the bridge. East of the bridge only was
known as Picton, after the distinguished general of that name, who lost
his life at Waterloo. Following considerable discussion as to which name
should be retained, Picton was selected and the town so incorporated about
1847. Hallowell Township was the centre of a U.E. Loyalist settlement.
