Memoirs Of The Extraordinary Military Career Of John Shipp Late A Lieut In His Majesty S 87th Regiment

Reprint of the original, first published in 1843.

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Extraordinary Military Career of John Shipp, Late a Lieut.: In His Majesty's 87th Regiment N reproducing the Memoirs of the Extra ordinary Military Career of John Shipp as a volume of the Adventure Series, it may be well to say a few introductory words con cerning the author and the book. John Shipp was, he tells us, the second son of Thomas and Laetitia Shipp, persons in humble circum stances in the little town of Saxmundham, in Suffolk, and he adds that in the registers Of the parish church will be found a record of his birth on March 16, 1785. The latter statement is incorrect. The church register records baptisms, not births, and a careful search has shown that the only entry answering to, the above is a record of the baptism of John, the child of Thomas and Laetitia Shipp, at a date twelve months earlier March 16, 1784. The error probably explains the conflicting statements of the author's age which occur in the course of the story.
