a dramatic story with many exquisite touches."--_New York Sun._

Mr. F. MARION CRAWFORD'S NOVELS
NOVELS OF ROMAN SOCIAL LIFE
_In decorated cloth covers, each, $1.50_
=A Roman Singer=
"One of the earliest and best works of this famous novelist....
None but a genuine artist could have made so true a picture of
human life, crossed by human passions and interwoven with human
weakness. It is a perfect specimen of literary art."--_The
Newark Advertiser._
=Marzio's Crucifix=
"We have repeatedly had occasion to say that Mr. Crawford
possesses in an extraordinary degree the art of constructing a
story. It is as if it could not have been written otherwise, so
naturally does the story unfold itself, and so logical and
consistent is the sequence of incident after incident. As a
story, Marzio's Crucifix is perfectly constructed."--_New York
Commercial Advertiser._
=Heart of Rome.= A Tale of the Lost Water
"Mr. Crawford has written a story of absorbing interest, a
story with a genuine thrill in it; he has drawn his characters
with a sure and brilliant touch, and he has said many things
surpassingly well."--_New York Times Saturday Review._
=Cecilia.= A Story of Modern Rome
"That F. Marion Crawford is a master of mystery needs no new
telling.... His latest novel, _Cecilia_, is as weird as
anything he has done since the memorable _Mr. Isaacs_.... A
strong, interesting, dramatic story, with the picturesque Roman
setting beautifully handled as only a master's touch could do
it."--_Philadelphia Evening Telegraph._
=Whosoever Shall Offend=
"It is a story sustained from beginning to end by an ever
increasing dramatic quality."--_New York Evening Post._
=Pietro Ghisleri=
"The imaginative richness, the marvellous ingenuity of plot,
the power and subtlety of the portrayal of character, the charm
of the romantic environment,--the entire atmosphere,
indeed,--rank this novel at once among the great
creations."--_The Boston Budget._
=To Leeward=
"The four characters with whose fortunes this novel deals, are,
perhaps, the most brilliantly executed portraits in the whole
of Mr. Crawford's long picture gallery, while for subtle
insight into the springs of human passion and for swift
dramatic action none of the novels surpasses this one."--_The
News and Courier._
=A Lady of Rome=
