THE 



ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN JOHN PATTERSON. 



With Notices of the Officers, Sfc. of the 50th, or Queen's Own Regiment, 

 FROM 1807 TO 1821. 



DEDICATED BY PERMISSION TO QTrEEW ADELAIDE. 



" This volume contains a well-written, yet unvarnished narrative, of the adventures 

 of the 50th foot, (better known as the ' Dirty Half-hundred,' from their black facings), 

 daring; the Peninsular war. It argues well for the bravery, as well as modesty, of Cap- 

 tain Patterson, that throughout his work we have but little of himself, and much of Ms 

 brother officers." — Bell's Messenger, 



" Captain Patterson's Adventures are the record of <\ brave soldier — of a dashing, 

 high-minded British officer, who never fears a rival, and never knew what it was to 

 have an enemy, or to hate any man. His descriptions are remarkable for their vivid- 

 ness and accuracy, and his anecdotes will bear repetition once a week for life." — Sun. 



" Captain Patterson is one of the pleasantest of the numerous tribe of gallant officers 

 who has done so much credit to the British name, by fighting and writing with equal 

 spirit." — Constitutional.

" The work is not like others we could name — a mere compilation from newspapers 

 and magazines. Major Beamish has left no source of information unexplored; and 

 the access he obtained to manuscript journals has enabled him to intersperse his general 

 narrative with interesting personal anecdotes, that render this volume as delightful for 

 those who read for amusement, as those who read for pTo6t."—Athen(Bum. 



" We are altogether much pleased with the volume, and heartily recommend it to 

 the British public." — Literary Gazette.
