=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._
