=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 in its
nice balancing of the unusual with the commonplace, the clever
juxtaposition of innocence and guilt, comedy and tragedy,
simplicity and intrigue."--_Critic._
=Dr. Claudius.= A True Story
The scene changes from Heidelberg to New York, and much of the
story develops during the ocean voyage.
"There is a satisfying quality in Mr. Crawford's strong, vital,
forceful stories."--_Boston Herald._
=An American Politician.=
The scenes are laid in Boston
"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 Three Fates=
"Mr. Crawford has manifestly brought his best qualities as a
student of human nature and his finest resources as a master of
an original and picturesque style to bear upon this story.
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._
=Marion Darche=
"Full enough of incident to have furnished material for three
or four stories.... A most interesting and engrossing book.
Every page unfolds new possibilities, and the incidents
multiply rapidly."--_Detroit Free Press._
"We are disposed to rank Marion Darche as the best of Mr.
Crawford's American stories."-_The Literary World._
=Katharine Lauderdale=
=The Ralstons.= A Sequel to "Katharine Lauderdale"
"Mr. Crawford at his best is a great novelist, and in
_Katharine Lauderdale_ we have him at his best."--_Boston Daily
Advertiser._
"A most admirable novel, excellent in style, flashing with
humor, and full of the ripest and wisest reflections upon men
and women."--_The Westminster Gazette._
"It is the first time, we think, in American fiction that any
such breadth of view has shown itself in the study of our
social framework."--_Life._
