Title

The Great importance of Cape Breton, demonstrated and exemplified, by extracts from the best writers, French and English, who have treated of that colony : the whole containing, besides the most accurate descriptions of the place, a series of the arguments that induced the French Court to settle and fortify it: the plan laid down for making the establishment, and the great progress made in execution of that plan : with the reasons that induced the people of New-England to subdue this formidable and dangerous rival, and that should determine the British nation never to part with it again, on any consideration whatever : in this pamphlet is included all that Father Charlevoix says of this island in his celebrated History of New-France, lately published, in three volumes in quart.
