THE CHILDREN OF THE KING.
_DAILY CHRONICLE._--"Mr. Crawford has not done better than
_The Children of the King_ for a long time. The story
itself is a simple and beautiful one."
PIETRO GHISLERI.
_SPEAKER._--"Mr. Marion Crawford is an artist, and a great
one, and he has been brilliantly successful in a task in
which ninety-nine out of every hundred writers would have
failed."
DON ORSINO.
_ATHENÆUM._--"_Don Orsino_ is a story with many strong
points, and it is told with all the spirit we have been
wont to expect from its author."
CASA BRACCIO.
_GUARDIAN._--"A very powerful story and a finished work of art."
ADAM JOHNSTONE'S SON.
_DAILY NEWS._--"Mr. Crawford has written stories richer
in incident and more powerful in intention, but we do not
think that he has handled more deftly or shown a more
delicate insight into tendencies that go towards making
some of the more spiritual tragedies of life."
THE RALSTONS.
_ATHENÆUM._--"The present instalment of what promises to be
a very voluminous family history, increasing in interest
and power as it develops, turns upon the death of Robert
and the disposition of his millions, which afford ample
scope for the author's pleasantly ingenious talent in
raising and surmounting difficulties of details."
CORLEONE: A Tale of Sicily.
_PALL MALL GAZETTE._--"A splendid romance."
VIA CRUCIS: A Romance of the Second Crusade.
_GRAPHIC._--"A stirring story."
IN THE PALACE OF THE KING: A Love Story of Old Madrid.
_SPECTATOR._--"A truly thrilling tale."
CECILIA: A Story of Modern Rome.
_TIMES._--"Thoroughly interesting from beginning to end....
Fully worthy of his reputation."
_ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS._--"Can only enhance Mr.
Crawford's reputation.... Admirably treated with all the
subtlety, finesse, and delicacy which are characteristic of
the author at his best."
MARIETTA: A Maid of Venice.
_PUNCH._--"Marion Crawford is at his very best in
_Marietta, A Maid of Venice_. It is a powerfully
dramatic story of Venice under 'The Ten,' told in a
series of picturesque scenes described in strikingly
artistic word-painting, the action being carried on by
well-imagined, clearly-defined characters."
THE NOVELS OF
ROLF BOLDREWOOD
ROBBERY UNDER ARMS.
A STORY OF LIFE AND ADVENTURE IN THE BUSH AND IN THE GOLD-FIELDS OF
AUSTRALIA.
_GUARDIAN._--"A singularly spirited and stirring tale of
Australian life, chiefly in the remoter settlements."
A MODERN BUCCANEER.
_DAILY CHRONICLE._--"We do not forget _Robbery under Arms_,
or any of its various successors, when we say that Rolf
Boldrewood has never done anything so good as _A Modern
Buccaneer_. It is good, too, in a manner which is for the
author a new one."
THE MINER'S RIGHT.
A TALE OF THE AUSTRALIAN GOLD-FIELDS.
