ADAM, SIR FREDERICK (1781-1853)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 172 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: A10-ADA
ADAM, SIR FREDERICK (1781-1853) , British general, was the son of the Rt. Hon. W.
Adam
  of Blair-
Adam
 , lord-
lieutenant
  of Kinross-shire. He was gazetted an
ensign
  at the age of four-teen and was subsequently educated at Woolwich: He became
captain in 1799, and served with the Coldstream Guards in
Egypt
  (1801). In 18o5, having
purchased
  the intermediate steps of promotion, he obtained command of the 21St Foot, with which regiment he served in the Mediterranean from 18o5 to 1813, taking part in the battle of Maida in 18o6. In 1813 he accompanied the British corps sent to Catalonia, in which he commanded a brigade. He fought a gallant action at Biar (April 12, 1813), and on the following day won further distinction at Castalla. In the action of Ordal, on the 12th of September, Adam received two severe wounds. He returned to England to recover, and was made a major-general in 1814. At Waterloo, Adam's brigade, of which the 52nd under Colborne (see SEATON, LORD) formed part, shared with the Guards the honour of re-pulsing the Old Guard. For his services he was made a K.C.B., and received also Austrian and Russian orders. During the
long
  peace which followed, Sir Frederick Adam was successively employed at Malta, in the Ionian Islands as lord high
commissioner
  (18241831) and from 1832 to 1837 as
governor
  of
Madras
 . He became K.C.M.G. in 1820, G.C.M.G. four years later,
lieutenant
 -general in 183o, a privy councillor in 1831, G.C.B. in 1840, and full general in 1846. He died suddenly on the 17th of August 18 J3.
