WITH A HUNDRED ORIGINAL DRAWINGS BY HENRY BROKMAN

Cloth Crown 8vo $2.50 net

“No living man of letters could have handled his materials with greater skill, or distilled them with more certainty into a fluent and fascinating narrative.”—The Dial.

“Mr. Crawford’s manner and method throughout are those of the romantic historian: true to fact, but true, also, to the romance of events, and enlivening and strengthening the whole through the historical imagination. He has taken a subject which he is peculiarly well fitted to treat by his experience and his studies and his former work, and it becomes, in his hand, a source of unexpected pleasure.”—Boston Herald.

Dr. S. Weir Mitchell writes: “I have not for a long while read a book which pleased me more than Mr. Crawford’s ‘Roma.’ It is cast in a form so original and so available that it must surely take the place of all other books about Rome which are needed to help one to understand its story and its archæology.... The book has for me a rare interest.”

“The ablest popular work on Rome published in recent years.”—Chicago Tribune.

“The ideal chronicle of the Eternal City.”—Inter-Ocean.

“More valuable to the general reader than any other.”—San Francisco Chronicle.

“He recalls the Rome of the great age of the conquests; of the Empire; of those years when the fires of life were dying; of the age of the barbarians; of the middle age; of the Renaissance; and of the modern time.”—H. W. Mabie.

WHOSOEVER SHALL OFFEND.—“Not since George Eliot’s ‘Romola’ brought her to her foreordained place among literary immortals, has there appeared in English fiction a character at once so strong and sensitive, so entirely and consistently human, so urgent and compelling in its appeal to sustained, sympathetic interest.”—Philadelphia North American.

THE HEART OF ROME (A Tale of the “Lost Water”).—“Mr. Crawford has written as absorbingly interesting a story as any of the perennially engrossing ‘Saracinesca’ trilogy.”—Brooklyn Times.

CECILIA (A Story of Modern Rome).—“The love story, which is the dominating interest throughout, is so strange and novel a one that many readers will, we think, compare it with ‘Mr. Isaacs,’ the author’s first and most popular book.... Mr. Crawford will, we think, be held to have scored a new and distinct success in this story.”—The Philadelphia North American.

MARIETTA (A Maid Of Venice).—“The workshop, its processes, the ways and thought of the time, all this is handled in so masterly a manner, not for its own sake, but for that of the story.... It has charm and the romance which is eternally human, as well as that which was of the Venice of that day. And over it all there is an atmosphere of worldly wisdom, of understanding, sympathy, and tolerance, of intuition and recognition, that makes Marion Crawford the excellent companion he is in his books for mature men and women.”—New York Mail and Express.

CORLEONE (A Tale of Sicily).—The last of the famous Saracinesca Series.—“It is by far the most stirring and dramatic of all the author’s Italian stories.... The plot is a masterly one, bringing at almost every page a fresh surprise, keeping the reader in suspense to the very end.”—The Times, New York.

MR. ISAACS.—“It is lofty and uplifting. It is strongly, sweetly, tenderly written. It is in all respects an uncommon novel.”—The Literary World.

DR. CLAUDIUS.—“The characters are strongly marked without any suspicion of caricature, and the author’s ideas on social and political subjects are often brilliant and always striking. It is no exaggeration to say that there is not a dull page in the book, which is peculiarly adapted for the recreation of the student or thinker.”—Living Church.

A ROMAN SINGER.—“A powerful story of art and love in Rome.”—The New York Observer.

AN AMERICAN POLITICIAN.—“One of the characters is a visiting Englishman. Possibly Mr. Crawford’s long residence abroad has made him select such a hero as a safeguard against slips, which does not seem to have been needed. His insight into a phase of politics with which he could hardly be expected to be familiar is remarkable.”—Buffalo Express.

TO LEEWARD.—“It is an admirable tale of Italian life told in a spirited way and far better than most of the fiction current.”—San Francisco Chronicle.

ZOROASTER.—“As a matter of literary art solely, we doubt if Mr. Crawford has ever before given us better work than the description of Belshazzar’s feast with which the story begins, or the death-scene with which it closes.”—The Christian Union (now The Outlook).

A TALE OF A LONELY PARISH.—“It is a pleasure to have anything so perfect of its kind as this brief and vivid story. It is doubly a success, being full of human sympathy, as well as thoroughly artistic.”—The Critic.

MARZIO’S CRUCIFIX.—“We take the liberty of saying that this work belongs to the highest department of character-painting in words.”—The Churchman.

PAUL PATOFF.—“It need scarcely be said that the story is skilfully and picturesquely written, portraying sharply individual characters in well-defined surroundings.”—New York Commercial Advertiser.

PIETRO GHISLERI.—“The strength of the story lies not only in the artistic and highly dramatic working out of the plot, but also in the penetrating analysis and understanding of the impulsive and passionate Italian character.”—Public Opinion.

THE CHILDREN OF THE KING.—“One of the most artistic and exquisitely finished pieces of work that Crawford has produced. The picturesque setting, Calabria and its surroundings, the beautiful Sorrento and the Gulf of Salerno, with the bewitching accessories that climate, sea, and sky afford, give Mr. Crawford rich opportunities to show his rare descriptive powers. As a whole the book is strong and beautiful through its simplicity.”—Public Opinion.

MARION DARCHE.—“We are disposed to rank ‘Marion Darche’ as the best of Mr. Crawford’s American stories.”—The Literary World.

THE THREE FATES.—“The strength of the story lies in portrayal of the aspirations, disciplinary efforts, trials, and triumphs of the man who is a born writer, and who by long and painful experiences learns the good that is in him and the way in which to give it effectual expression. Taken for all in all, it is one of the most pleasing of all his productions in fiction, and it affords a view of certain phases of American, or perhaps we should say of New York, life that have not hitherto been treated with anything like the same adequacy and felicity.”—Boston Beacon.

KATHARINE LAUDERDALE.—“It need scarcely be said that the story is skilfully and picturesquely written, portraying sharply individual characters in well-defined surroundings.”—New York Commercial Advertiser.

THE RALSTONS.—“The whole group of character studies is strong and vivid.”—The Literary World.

LOVE IN IDLENESS.—“The story is told in the author’s lightest vein; it is bright and entertaining.”—The Literary World.

CASA BRACCIO.—“We are grateful when Mr. Crawford keeps to his Italy. The poetry and enchantment of the land are all his own, and ‘Casa Braccio’ gives promise of being his masterpiece.... He has the life, the beauty, the heart, and the soul of Italy at the tips of his fingers.”—Los Angeles Express.

TAQUISARA.—“A charming story this is, and one which will certainly be liked by all admirers of Mr. Crawford’s work.”—New York Herald.

ADAM JOHNSTONE’S SON and A ROSE OF YESTERDAY.—“It is not only one of the most enjoyable novels that Mr. Crawford has ever written, but is a novel that will make people think.”—Boston Beacon.

“Don’t miss reading Marion Crawford’s new novel, ‘A Rose of Yesterday.’ It is brief, but beautiful and strong. It is as charming a piece of pure idealism as ever came from Mr. Crawford’s pen.”—Chicago Tribune.

SARACINESCA.—“The work has two distinct merits, either of which would serve to make it great: that of telling a perfect story in a perfect way, and of giving a graphic picture of Roman society.... The story is exquisitely told, and is the author’s highest achievement, as yet, in the realm of fiction.”—The Boston Traveler.

SANT’ ILARIO (A Sequel to Saracinesca).—“A singularly powerful and beautiful story.... It fulfils every requirement of artistic fiction. It brings out what is most impressive in human action, without owing any of its effectiveness to sensationalism or artifice. It is natural, fluent in evolution, accordant with experience, graphic in description, penetrating in analysis, and absorbing in interest.”—The New York Tribune.

DON ORSINO (A Sequel to Saracinesca and Sant’ Ilario).—“Offers exceptional enjoyment in many ways, in the fascinating absorption of good fiction, in the interest of faithful historic accuracy, and in charm of style. The ‘New Italy’ is strikingly revealed in ‘Don Orsino.’”—Boston Budget.

WITH THE IMMORTALS.—“The strange central idea of the story could have occurred only to a writer whose mind was very sensitive to the current of modern thought and progress, while its execution, the setting it forth in proper literary clothing, could be successfully attempted only by one whose active literary ability should be fully equalled by his power of assimilative knowledge, both literary and scientific, and no less by his courage, and so have a fascination entirely new for the habitual reader of novels. Indeed, Mr. Crawford has succeeded in taking his readers quite above the ordinary plane of novel interest.”—The Boston Advertiser.

GREIFENSTEIN.—” ... Another notable contribution to the literature of the day. Like all Mr. Crawford’s work, this novel is crisp, clear, and vigorous, and will be read with a great deal of interest.”—New York Evening Telegram.

A CIGARETTE-MAKER’S ROMANCE and KHALED.—“It is a touching romance, filled with scenes of great dramatic power.”—Boston Commercial Bulletin.

“It abounds in stirring incidents and barbaric picturesqueness; and the love struggle of the unloved Khaled is manly in its simplicity and noble in its ending.”—The Mail and Express.

THE WITCH OF PRAGUE—“The artistic skill with which this extraordinary story is constructed and carried out is admirable and delightful.... Mr. Crawford has scored a decided triumph, for the interest of the tale is sustained throughout.... A very remarkable, powerful, and interesting story.”—New York Tribune.

VIA CRUCIS (A Romance of the Second Crusade).—“Throughout ‘Via Crucis’ the author shows not only the artist’s selective power and a sense of proportion and comparative values, but the Christian’s instinct for those things that it is well to think upon.... Blessed is the book that exalts, and ‘Via Crucis’ merits that beatitude.”—New York Times.

IN THE PALACE OF THE KING (A Love Story of Old Madrid).—“Marion Crawford’s latest story, ‘In the Palace of the King,’ is quite up to the level of his best works for cleverness, grace of style, and sustained interest. It is, besides, to some extent, a historical story, the scene being the royal palace at Madrid, the author drawing the characters of Philip II. and Don John of Austria, with an attempt, in a broad impressionist way, at historic faithfulness. His reproduction of the life at the Spanish court is as brilliant and picturesque as any of his Italian scenes, and in minute study of detail is, in a real and valuable sense, true history.”—The Advance.
