CONTENTS.

p.vNOTE.

A series of papers which originally appeared in‘Fraser’ are now, for the first time, published in acollected form with the consent of the proprietors of thatMagazine.  It should, however, be stated, that this is not amere reprint, but that other matter has been inserted, andseveral illustrations, which did not appear originally, are nowadded, by which the work is very materially increased: the wholehaving undergone a necessary revision.

Since the late Mr. Crofton Croker contributed to‘Fraser’ the ‘Walk from London toFulham,’ there have been many important changes on theroad: time has continued to efface interesting associations; moreold houses have been pulled down, new ones built up, and greatalterations and improvements have taken place not contemplated afew years ago.  It would be impossible, for example, thatany one who has not visited the locality during the last fewyears could recognize the narrow lanes p. viof yesterdayin the fine roads now diverging beyond the South KensingtonMuseum, which building has so recently been erected at thecommencement of Old Brompton; but modern improvements areseemingly endless, and have of late become frequent.  It isin the belief that the following pages will be an interesting andacceptable record of many places no longer in existence, thatthey are submitted to the public in their present shape by

T. F. DILLON CROKER.
