the capital of Nova Scotia, is seated in the bay of Fundy, and has a fine harbour; but there is a difficulty in entering in and coming out, and it is subject to fogs. The town is but small; and yet there are some handsome buildings, though the generality are but two stories high. It is defended by new and regular fortifications, and batteries of guns towards the sea. At the bottom of the harbour is a point of land, which divides two rivers; and on each side there are pleasant meadows, which in spring and autumn are covered with all sorts of fresh-water fowl. There is a trade carried on by the Indians with furs, which they exchange for European goods. A governor resides here, with a British garrison. W. Long. 64. 5. N. Lat. 45. 10.
