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."
