The author shows steady and constant improvement in his art. "Sant' Ilario" is a continuation of the chronicles of the Saracinesca family.... A singularly powerful and beautiful story.... Admirably developed, with a naturalness beyond praise.... It must rank with "Greifenstein" as the best work the author has produced. 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.--_New York Tribune._ A CIGARETTE-MAKER'S ROMANCE. Price, $1.25. It is a touching romance, filled with scenes of great dramatic power.--_Boston Commercial Bulletin._ It is full of life and movement, and is one of the best of Mr. Crawford's books.--_Boston Saturday Evening Gazette._ The interest is unflagging throughout. Never has Mr. Crawford done more brilliant realistic work than here. But his realism is only the case and cover for those intense feelings which, placed under no matter what humble conditions, produce the most dramatic and the most tragic situations.... This is a secret of genius, to take the most coarse and common material, the meanest surroundings, the most sordid material prospects, and out of the vehement passions which sometimes dominate all human beings to build up with these poor elements scenes and passages, the dramatic and emotional power of which at once enforce attention and awaken the profoundest interest.--_New York Tribune._ MR. ISAACS. A Tale of Modern India. Price, $1.50. If considered only as a semi-love story it is exceptionally fascinating, but when judged as a literary effort it is truly great.--_Home Journal._ Under an unpretentious title we have here the most brilliant novel, or rather romance, that has been given to the world for a very long time.--_The American._ No story of human experience that we have met with since "John Inglesant" has such an effect of transporting the reader into regions differing from his own. "Mr. Isaacs" is the best novel that has ever laid its scenes in our Indian dominions.--_The Daily News._ A work of unusual ability.... It fully deserves the notice it is sure to attract.--_The Athenaeum._ A story of remarkable freshness and promise, displaying exceptional gifts of imagination.--_The Academy._ DR. CLAUDIUS. A True Story. Price, $1.50. An interesting and attractive story, and in some directions a positive advance upon "Mr. Isaacs."--_New York Tribune._ "Dr. Claudius" is surprisingly good, coming after a story of so much merit as "Mr. Isaacs." The hero is a magnificent specimen of humanity, and sympathetic readers will be fascinated by his chivalrous wooing of the beautiful American countess.--_Boston Traveller._ ZOROASTER. Price, $1.50.
