He wrote accounts of his travels for the Dublin University Magazine, then under the editorship of Charles Lever, who persuaded him to make a book out of them. The work achieved great popularity; seventeen editions appeared by 1880. It enjoyed even greater success than Eothen, which had been dedicated to Warburton by [Alexander] Kinglake, a life-long friend. Warburton dedicated his own work to Richard Monckton Milnes.'
