This curious production
was found among the papers of Thomas McDonough, Esq., formerly British
Consul at Boston, and is in possession of his grandson, my relative,
George Francis Parkman, Esq., who, by inquiries at the Chelsea Hospital,
learned that Johnson was still living in 1802.
I have read and collated with extreme care all the above authorities,
with others which need not be mentioned.
Among several manuscript maps and plans showing the operations
of the siege may be mentioned one entitled, _Plan of the
Town and Basin of Quebec and Part of the Adjacent Country,
shewing the principal Encampments and Works of the British
Army commanded by Major Gen'l. Wolfe, and those of the French
Army by Lieut. Gen'l. the Marquis of Montcalm_. It is the work
of three engineers of Wolfe's army, and is on a scale of eight
hundred feet to an inch. A facsimile from the original in possession
of the Royal Engineers is before me.
Among the "King's Maps," British Museum (CXIX. 27), is a
very large colored plan of operations at Quebec in 1759, 1760,
superbly executed in minute detail.

_Death and Burial of Montcalm_.--Johnstone, who had every

his wound to the house of the surgeon Arnoux. Yet it is not quite
certain that he died there. According to Knox, his death took
place at the General Hospital; according to the modern author
of the _Ursulines de Quebec_, at the Chateau St.
