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."
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."
