ADVENTURES OF THE
N NAUGHT RANGERS.
By WILLIAM GRATTAN, EsQ.
Late Lieutenant, Connaught Rangers.
.` Lieutenant Grattan has written a spirited narrative of the event-
ful career of one of the most dishing 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 cans-
paignins, 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 in 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 bills, luggage, guides, &c.
5. Protection tYom the loss so frequently experienced in changing
money.

6. Being enabled to travel with the most perfect 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 conveyance, 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 fnrnished 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. He will also be furnished with letters of credit on every leading
town on the continent, as the Company, 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 be 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 is. per
share will meet all preliminary expenses, and it is anticipated that
no further call than It. per share will be required to carry out the
final operations of the Company.
The calls will he made in instalments not exceeding 10s. each, and
they will be lodged at the Company's bankers 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 iiannediately thereupon commence their
operations.
Applications for Shares should be addressed to the Secretary, at
the Company's Offices ; or to the agents, Messrs. Woollard and
Jenkins, New City Chambers, 121, Bishopsgate- street Within, where
a detailed prospectus, with the names of the Provisional Committee,
and a full account of the plans and arrangements of the Company,
may be obtained.
