The citadel of Quebec is on the highest part of the city — just on the edge of a precipice on one side next the St. Lawrence — and is undoubtedly a strong situation; but the heights on the Point Levi side, not more than a thousand yards distant, command the fort, and the place is approachable from the Plains of Abraham, although there are martello towers between the fortifications and the Plains.
