- Plan of the battle fought the 28th of april 1760 upon the height of Abraham near Quebec, between the Britsh troops arrison'd in that place and the French army that came to beseige it [sic]. The whole effectives of the Garrison amounted to about 3000 men only, they were commanded by the Honorable Brigadier General Murray Governor. The French army was commanded by the Chevalier de Levi, and amounted to upwards of 12 000 men of which there were then battalions of regulars, the rest were Canadians and Indians. The British came out in two columns, one by St John's gate, the other by St Lewis gate; the French came along the road from St Fois, and would have been attacked before they could form, if the difficulty's of the snow and ground had not retarded the advancing of our cannon which deprived us of a great advantage / McKellar . - [176-?]
