This place is built on a cliff and the fortifications are 242 feet above the level of the river: all the public buildings are very large and handsome, and are built of stone and granite; a wall runs from the forts and surrounds the old city, in which are gates into the new one. Inside this wall, on the cliff is the wide public promenade, known as the Dufferin Terrace, and on this terrace, where the residences, of the old French Governors, once stood attends the Chateau Frontenac, the large C.P.R. hotel which is a magnificent structure.
