Canadian Historic Sites: Occasional Papers in Archaeology and History No. 17
by John Joseph Greenough Appendix L: General Plan BibliographyThis plan bibliography lists every plan of the Halifax Citadel located by the author during his research. The plans are from five principal sources: (1) The manuscript and microfilm collections of the Public Archives of Canada. (2) The National Map Collection of the Public Archives of Canada. (3) The manuscript and map collections of the Public Archives of Nova Scotia. (4) The Public Record Office, London. (5) The files of the Atlantic Regional Office of National Historic Parks and Sites Branch, Parks Canada. The last two sources require some explanation. Copies of plans in the Public Record Office were sent to National Historic Parks and Sites Branch as a result of research done some years before research on this report was begun. The plans from the Atlantic Regional Office have since been turned over to the National Map Collection of the Public Archives of Canada and are so cited in this bibliography. Copies of all plans listed are on file at National Historic Parks and Sites Branch. The bibliography is complete (at least in terms of plans available in North America) down to about 1870. After that date there are plans, in addition to those listed here, which have yet to be located and catalogued. This bibliography encompasses only a fraction of the plans of the Halifax Citadel drawn by the Royal Engineers during the period of British occupation. The majority of these plans may have been destroyed. Some of them may still exist in collections in Britain.

These plans contain Nicolls's original design for the Citadel. There are three series, the second of which (plans 01-1825-5-1 and 6-1) shows some variation from the other two.
Title: "Plan No 1." Signature and date: Nicolls, 20 Dec. 1825 Scale: 1 in. to 100 ft. Comments: Outline plan with reference notes, showing ramparts; the subterranean features are indicated by dotted lines. The plan shows the relationship between Nicolls's design and Straton's third Citadel, as well as a large stretch of the surrounding countryside, it is keyed for sections (see below).

This is a simplified version of plan 01-1825-12-1, it differs from the latter in some matters of detail, notably the arrangement of the ravelin guardhouses. This plan also shows evidence of alteration in London. Unidentified buildings are shown in the gorges of three of the bastions. These were apparently intended to illustrate General Bryce's proposal to relocate the cavaliers (see "The Bureaucratic Process"). Source: Public Record Office, London (WO78, No. 1786, MR947).

Title: "No 8 / Elevation of Gorge of West Ravelin. Signature and date: Boteler, 14 Feb. 1832. Scale: 1 in. to 10 ft. Comments: Elevation and ten sections. The elevation shows the state of the west ravelin gorge. The ten sections are as follows: (1) Escarp, northwest and southwest bastions as built in 1829.

Title: "Fort George, Halifax N.S. / Plan and section of the casemates of reverse fine / Counterscarp main Ditch." Signature and date: Boteler, 14 April 1832. Scale: 1 in. to 10 ft. Comments: Plan and two sections, showing countermines. The sections detail two alternative arrangements for the level of the gallery. The gallery was ultimately constructed in a different manner (see plan 15-1838-13-i). The bend in the counterscarp wall shown in this plan was ultimately incorporated into the final plan. Source: Public Record Office, London (WO78, No. 1667, MPH486).
Title: "Transverse Section of Fort George shewing the elevation of the / alteration proposed to the eastern front by Colonel Nicolls Letter of 5th Sept. 1831, as also if carried only to the extent of the Ravelin / of the original Plan. Both constructed on the same plane as the Eastern half of the work." Signature and date: Boteler, 19 April 1832. Scale: 1 in. to 30 ft. Comments: Two sections detailing alternative proposals for the redan. Neither section is entirely like the redan as it was actually constructed, but the first (Nicolls's proposal) is closer. The counterscarp was not constructed in the manner described, and neither the countermines nor the glacis coupe was ever built. This plan is interesting for the light it throws on the problems involved in the formation of a glacis on the eastern front. Source: Public Record Office, London (WO78, No. 1667, MPH486).
Title: "Sketch of the proposed construction of the / Casemates for reverse fire in front of the North West / Bastion, Fort George, Halifax." Signature and date: "To accompany Sir A. Bryce's orders in Lieutenant Colonel Fanshawe's letter of 25 May 1832." Scale: 1 in. to 10 ft. Comments: Plan and section. A proposal to complete the counterscarp gallery in a series of arched compartments. This method of construction was ultimately adopted, but the line of the gallery opposite the northwest demi-bastion was eventually altered (compare plans 15-1832-4-1 and 15-1838-13-1). Source: Public Record Office, London (WO78, No. 1667, MPH486).
These nine plans are all from Lieutenant Colonel Boteler's first estimate for the completion of the Citadel, transmitted on 12 June 1833. The originals went down with the Calypso; these are copies. As none of the works was approved, these plans are interesting only for their description of work already constructed and for their illustration of the extent to which Boteler influenced his successors.

These nine are from the first version of Lieutenant Colonel Jones's revised estimate. Some were approved; others were deleted, changed, or not carried out. Comparison should be made with the plans from the approved version of the estimate (see plans 06-1836-2-1 and following).
