This was at a time when the Karl of Halifax was Presi- dent of the Board of Trade and Plantations, hence the name adopt- ed for the place. The expedition sent out MarteMo Tower. frOUl England tO do this work was placed under the direction of Hon. Edward Corn wallis— not Lo?d Cornwallis, as is often stated— Governor of Nova Scotia. He was instructed to found a town upon some part of th- shores of Chebucto Bay, to be thereafter the seat of government of Nova Scotia. According to the most authentic account, Governor Cornwallis and suite landed upon what thus became Nova Scotia's capital, on the 21st June, 1749 ; and the anniversary of that day has, for years past, been celebrated as the Natal Day of Hali- fax. The streets are spacious and cross each other at right angles. ^ Amerian Money taken at Face Value at HEBB'S, 139 Heliis 8t. 9 Halifax is the principal British mihtary station, and thf commander of the forces in Americ^ is stationed here and is the principal British Naval Station m the " neW world."

'^The natural situation of Halifax is exceedingly fine. The city, propevly speaking, comprises the whole ot a penin"i^; formed by the harbor called the North W est Arm on the south-west. The Harbor, after narrow- kig as we proceed northward, suddenly expands m Bed- ford Basin which bounds the peninsula on the north. Tht peninsula extends four or five miles n extreme le"l,^_that is, from Point Pleasant to the Basin The width of the Harbor across the middle anu which U nearlv its average width, is two miles ; the width of the Isthmus, from^the head of the Noith West Arm to the nearest ^int on Bedford Basin, is about one mile and a half.

For a distance of ten miles, following the sinuosities of the shore, its borders, with the exception of about a quarter of a mile at Point Pleasant, where a shoal or ledge make out seaward, are washed by what navigators call ' ' good water. ' ' The whole of that distance, with the exception named, is available for whai'ves, piers and quays, with sufficient dep"^^ of waier to admit vessels close in shore, and with , jod "holding ground" in front. The more compactly b'^ilt portion of the city- -the town proper — lies along the eastern side of this t^<^nin- sula, and consequently on the western shores ^. tht harbor. It is built, for the most part, on tht slope of a hill, the summit of which is surmounted by Fort George, or the Citadel, and has extensive steam com- munication with all parts of the world. It sends two members to the Dominion House of Commons and two to the Provincial Legislature. The best view of the city is when seen from the opposite or Dartmouth shore ; but the prospect from Citadel Hill is one which no visitor should fail to see. We will suppose him there upon the ramparts, or outside the works at an ? ugle of one of the bastions. Clustering almost beneath his feet, and spreadir^: out more visibly on either hand, north and south, is the city. Beyond it lies what is often called '' the finest harbor in the world," six miles long by one mile in width, and connected with 1 basin which is six miles long by four miles in width. Set in it, like a gun, is the green mound-like George's Island, crowned by Fort Charlowie.

Turning our eyes once more in the direction of the harbor, we see on its farther shore the thriving town of Dartmouth, built down to the water's edge and backed by bold, wood-crow^ned hills, the slopes of which are dotted with tasteful villas, and through one of the depressions of which we may catch a glimpse of the Dartmouth lakes. Indeed, in whatever direc- tion the eye is turned from the point we have selected, it is met with a prospect of rare beauty.

On the 21st of June, 1749, Hon. Edward Cornwallis, accompanied by two thousand intending settlers, reached Chebucto Harbor (now Hali- fax), and the ships which conveyed these adventurers also brought across the Atlantic the frame work of a church, which was erected as sOon as the surveys of the future city had been completed, and named St. Paul's. The design was that on which St. Peter's Church, Vere Street, London, was built, and the copy was exact even to the size of the panes of glass On September 2nd, 1750, this church was first opened for divine service, and at present St. Paul's parish is one of the largest in Canada. DUtCb CbUrCb, coriier of Brunswick and Gerrish Streets, was built in 1755, bf private subscription and government grant, for the use of the Lutheran congregation that came to Halifax in 1752. The steeple was added to the church in 1760. In 1761 it was con- secrated as a church by the Rev. Dr. Braynton. The ground adjoin- ing the church was used as a cei etery by the early German settlers. This church has not been changed in any way, remaining to this day just as it was first built.
