PART TWO
REFERENCE NOTES
1. A rapid glance at the plans of Quebec and Montreal at this time make it clear that these towns were not established according to a preconceived plan, but that they grew up haphazardly, unlike Louisbourg which is perhaps the only strictly planned French town in America. We exclude, of course, Detroit and New Orleans.
2. See our report on the streets of Louisbourg.
3. From 1717, the engineer provided space for the quay, and we may therefore conclude that from this moment on the quay was included in the plans of the town. 22 May 1717 (Conseil). A.C.
