...quarter, and extending inland half a mile. But for a half mile further south--toward the centre of the town--and inland, the destruction is only less complete. And still another three-quarters of a mile of wharves and warehouses is badly shattered. The waterfront laid waste is equal in extent to that of Boston from the South Station around to the North Station, and across Charlestown to beyond the Navy Yard; only in Halifax the property was less valuable, and the wharves and buildings more scattered; two-fifths of it was railway frontage, two-fifths Imperial docks and barracks...

We could raise an army of 500,000 men in seven months and subsequent armies of equal size in the same time...
