Nor was any thing important accomplished by either division of the land forces.
The same plan of campaign was followed in 1712.

An army of four thousand men marched against Montreal by Lake Champlain, but on hearing of the failure of the naval expedition and of the concentration of the French forces on the river Sorel, they retired towards Albany.
The next expedition of any importance was the naval one of 1745 against Louisburg.

For the attack of this place the colonies raised about four thousand men, and one hundred small vessels and transports, carrying between one hundred and sixty and two hundred guns.

They were afterwards joined by ten other vessels carrying near five hundred guns.

This attacking force now, according to some of the English writers, consisted of six thousand provincials, and eight hundred seamen, and a combined naval force of near seven hundred guns.
