THE NOVELS OF
F. MARION CRAWFORD
MR. ISAACS: A Tale of Modern India.
_ATHENÆUM._--"A work of unusual ability.... It fully
deserves the notice it is sure to attract."
DOCTOR CLAUDIUS: A True Story.
_ATHENÆUM._--"Few recent books have been so difficult to
lay down when once begun."
A ROMAN SINGER.
_TIMES._--"A masterpiece of narrative.... Unlike any other
romance in English literature."
ZOROASTER.
_GUARDIAN._--"An instance of the highest and noblest form
of novel.... Alike in the originality of its conception
and the power with which it is wrought out, it stands on a
level that is almost entirely its own."
MARZIO'S CRUCIFIX.
_TIMES._--"A subtle compound of artistic feeling, avarice,
malice, and criminal frenzy is this carver of silver
chalices and crucifixes."
A TALE OF A LONELY PARISH.
_GUARDIAN._--"The tale is written with all Mr. Crawford's skill."
PAUL PATOFF.
_ST. JAMES'S GAZETTE._--"Those who neglect to read _Paul
Patoff_ will throw away a very pleasurable opportunity."
WITH THE IMMORTALS.
_SPECTATOR._--"Cannot fail to please a reader who enjoys
crisp, clear, vigorous writing, and thoughts that are alike
original and suggestive."
GREIFENSTEIN.
_SPECTATOR._--"Altogether, we like _Greifenstein_
decidedly--so much so as to doubt whether it does not
dislodge _A Roman Singer_ from the place hitherto occupied
by the latter as our favourite amongst Mr. Crawford's
novels."
TAQUISARA: A Novel.
_PALL MALL GAZETTE._--"Cannot fail to be read with interest
and pleasure by all to whom clever characterisation and
delicate drawing make appeal."
A ROSE OF YESTERDAY.
_SPEAKER._--"There is something in _A Rose of Yesterday_
which makes the book linger with a distinct aroma of its
own in the reader's memory."
SANT' ILARIO.
_ATHENÆUM._--"The plot is skilfully concocted, and the
interest is sustained to the end.... A very clever piece of
work."
A CIGARETTE-MAKER'S ROMANCE.
_GLOBE._--"We are inclined to think this is the best of Mr.
Marion Crawford's stories."
KHALED: A Tale of Arabia.
_ANTI-JACOBIN._--"Mr. Crawford has written some stories
more powerful, but none more attractive than this."
THE THREE FATES.
_NATIONAL OBSERVER._--"Increases in strength and in
interest even to the end."
THE WITCH OF PRAGUE.
_ACADEMY._--"It is so remarkable a book as to be certain of
as wide a popularity as any of its predecessors; it is a
romance of singular daring and power."
MARION DARCHE: A Story without Comment.
_ATHENÆUM._--"Readers in search of a good novel may be
recommended to lose no time in making the acquaintance of
Marion Darche, her devoted friends, and her one enemy."
KATHARINE LAUDERDALE.
_PUNCH._--"Admirable in its simple pathos, its unforced
humour, and, above all, in its truth to human nature."
