bt 'Dr. Claudius' is the most
interesting book that has been published for many
months, and richly deserves a high place in the
public favor."--_St. Louis Spectator._
"To our mind it by no means belies the promises of
its predecessor. The story, an exceedingly
improbable and romantic one, is told with much
skill; the characters are strongly marked without
any suspicion of caricature, and the author's
ideas on social and political subjects are often
brilliant and always striking. It is no
exaggeration to say that there is not a dull page
in the book, which is peculiarly adapted for the
recreation of student or thinker."--_Living

TO LEEWARD.
"A story of remarkable power."--_Review of

"Mr. Crawford has written many strange and

with its mixture of comedy and tragedy, innocence
and guilt."--_Cottage Hearth._

"One of the most engrossing novels we have ever
read."--_Boston Times._
SANT' ILARIO.
A sequel to "Saracinesca."
"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 artific
