The Researches in the South of Ire land an arrangement of notes made during several excursions between the years 1812 and 1822, was his first important work. It was published by John Murray, the father of the present publisher of the Quarterly Review, ' and contained illustrations by Mr. Alfred and Miss Nichol son: with the Fairy Legends, ' however, the name of Crofton Croker became more especially associated, the first edition of which appeared anonymously in 1825, and pro duced a complimentary letter from Sir Walter Scott, which has been published in all subsequent editions. The success of the first edition of the legends was such as immediately to justify a second, which appeared the next year, illustrated with etchings after sketches by Maclise, and which was followed by a second series (parts 2 and 3) in 1827. The third part, although it appeared under the same title, namely Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland, ' may be considered as forming almost a separate work, inasmuch as it comprised the fairy superstitions of Wales and other countries, in addi tion to those current in Ireland. A translation of the legends by the Brothers Grimm appeared in Germany in 1825 and another in Paris in 1828 Les Contes Irlandais, precedes d'une introduction par M. P. A. Dufau but it was not until 1834 that Murray published them in a con densed form in his Family Library, ' the copyright of which edition, as revised by the author, was purchased of Murray by the late Mr. Tegg, and is now published by his son. In October, 1826, Croker was introduced to Sir. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Walks in London, Vol. 2 of 2 Let us find ourselves again at Charing Cross, which forms the south-eastern angle of Trafalgar Square, a dreary expanse of granite with two granite fountains, intended to commemorate the last victory of Nelson. Its northern side is occupied by the miserable buildings of the National Gallery; its eastern and western sides by a hideous hotel and a frightful club. Where the noble Jacobian screen of Northumberland House (which was so admirably adapted for a National Portrait Gallery) once drew the eye away from these abominations by its dignity and beauty, a view of the funnel-roof of Charing Cross railway Station forms a poor substitute for the time-honoured palace of the Percy's! In the centre of the square is a Corinthian pillar of Devonshire granite, 145 feet height, by IV. Railton, erected in 1843. It supports a statue of Nelson by E. H. Baily, R. A., a very poor work, which, however, does not much signify, as it can only be properly seen from the top of the Duke of York's column, which no one ascends. The pedestal of the column is decorated by reliefs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Nairn's London is an idiosyncratic, poetic and intensely subjective meditation on a city and its buildings. Including railway stations, synagogues, abandoned gasworks, dock cranes, suburban gardens, East End markets, Hawksmoor churches, a Gothic cinema and twenty-seven different pubs, it is a portrait of the soul of a place, from a writer of genius.
