ADVENTURES OF THE

CON_NAUGHT RANGERS
By WILLIAM GRATTAN En
_ . _ .

Late Lieutenant, Connaught Rangers.
" Lieutenant Grattan has written a spirited narrative of the evem
ful career of one of the most dashing regiments in the service, mir-
roring its adventures in a bold and vivid manner, which Imparts life,
and vigour, and deep interest to his delineations. We have no doubt
of the success of the volumes. To read of the exploits of such a
corps, by one of its officers, who shared in its memorable cam-
Paigniugs, must be an attractive and exciting amusement to every
true-hearted Briton."—United Service Gazette.

The object of this Company is to offer the following advantages to
travellers, which have never yet been attempted:-
1. Economy of time.

2. Diminution M the expenditure of hotels, couriers, servants, &c.
of at least 20 per cent.

3. The knowledge, before departure, of the exact expense to be
Incurred.

4 Exemption from the annoyances attending payments of fares
by railroad, steam-boat, hotel bale, luggage, guides, &c.
5. Protection from the loss so frequently experienced in changing

6. Being enabled to travel with the most perfret security and com-
fort through all countries, without previous acquaintance with either
their language or customs.

To enable the Company to accomplish these desirable results, they
have made the necessary arrangements with the various hotels, the
different means of conveyahce, whether by steam or diligence, and the
several local authorities on the continent, by which every traveller
will, at his departure from London, or any place on the continent, by'
a preliminary payment, be furnished with certificates for every pur-
pose requisite on the route, for every hotel, and for every means of
conveyance, which, on presentation, will entitle the holder to be fur-
nished with the best accommodation at an uniform and reduced
rate. Ile will also be furnished with letters of credit on every leading
town on the continent, as the t2ompany, in part of their arrange-
ments, have with the leading bankers of these places a guarantee
fund always standing to their credit, and in every place of note an
agent of the Company will he stationed, whose duty it will be to give
every information required.
The saving to the traveller will be at least 20 per cent., Indepen-
dent of the convenience, surety, and additional' comfort ; while from
the arrangements made with the several parties with whom the Com-
pany are in correspondence, a certain return of at least 10 per cent.
may be assured upon the capital invested. The deposit of ls. per
share will meet all preliminary- expenses, and it is anticipated that
no further call than 11. per share will be required to carry out the
final operations of the Company.

The calls will be made in instalments not exceeding 10s. each, and
they will be lodged at the Company's hankers abroad, bearing in-
terest of 4 per cent. in favour of the Company, as securities to the
contracting parties for the payment of the certificates issued by
the Company, and who will immediately thereupon commence their
operations.

Applications for Shares should be addressed to the Secretary, at
the Company's Offices; or to the agents, Messrs. Woollant and
