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. 1 of 2 Long ago, when I was a boy at a private tutor's near Edmonton, the only book in which I could find any interest or amusement in the scanty library of the house was Charles Knight's 'London' and the pleasure derived from it led to my spending every sixpence I could save, and every holiday on which I could get leave, in seeing some of the places it described. London is much changed since that time; but the solitary expeditions I then made through its historic sights, so inexpressibly delightful at the time, laid a foundation for the work of the last two years, of which these volumes are the result. They aim at nothing original, indeed any one who attempts a work of the kind must, to borrow the language of the author of 'Eothen, ' be 'subjected to the immutable law which compels a man with a pen in his hand to be uttering now and then some sentiment not his own, as though, like the French peasant under the old rffu he were bound to perform a certain amount of work on the public highways.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Walks and Talks About London London has so many aspects, that it has been well described as a subject always new. That hearty lover of our metropolis, Dr. Johnson, sitting in Bolt-court, said: "the happiness of London is not to be conceived but by those who have been in it. I will venture to say, there is more learning and science within the circumference of ten miles from where we now sit, than in all the rest of the kingdom." Again, Johnson says: "how different a place London is to different people," each person viewing it through the medium of one particular pursuit: "but the intellectual man is struck with it as comprehending the whole of human life in all its variety, the contemplation of which is inexhaustible." The isolation of London is well conveyed in Horace Walpole's experience, that there is no being alone but in a metropolis; and it is said - the old Dramatist's truism - that "the next-door neighbours don't know each other." The immensity of London has led to its being termed a province covered with houses: or, as Burke phrased it, "an endless addition of littleness to littleness, extending itself over a great tract of land." Johnson's definition is still more to the point: "if you wish to have a just notion of the magnitude of this city, you must not be satisfied with seeing its great streets and squares, but must survey the innumerable little lanes and courts. It is not in the showy evolutions of buildings, but in the multiplicity of human habitations whi6h are crowded together, that the wonderful immensity of London consists." And many years ago, when Southey began to study the Map of London, he was dismayed at the sight of its prodigious extent. To the man of a reflective turn of mind - to see the stir of the great Babel, And not feel the crowd, is endlessly suggestive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In London's Heart IT Was eight o'clock in the evening, and a thin haze which had hung over London through the October afternoon had lifted, and the night was bright and exhilarating. The working day was over. The shop assistants, glad to escape from their monotonous toil, were pouring into the streets. Streams of pleasure seekers were walking toward the great centre of theatrical entertainment, and smart little broughams, 'with ladies and gentlemen in evening dress, were dash ing along as fast as the plague of omnibuses would allow them. Outside one of the most fashionable restaurants in Piccadilly, the big foreigner in uniform who has taken the place of the English commissionaire was preparing to receive company. He had been lolling in an easy attitude against the door-post, reading a pink extra special until the clock struck eight, but now he had begun to assume an important, not to say dictatorial, attitude toward the crawling hansoms and four-wheel ers which seemed to him to be blocking the way.
