The French text of the Articles of Capitulation being the official one, there is no authoritative English version. The English text here given follows that contained in "Capitulations and Extracts of Treaties Relating to Canada," already cited, and which corresponds to the French text there given. This version, as regards the British concessions, is practically identical with that contained in Knox's "Historical Journal of the Campaigns in North America." Vol. II, p. 87, as also in the "Annual Register" for 1759, p. 247. The version contained in "Papers Relative to the Province of Quebec," of 1791, differs slightly from these.
