A Tale of Southern Italy.

"A sympathetic reader cannot fail to be impressed
with the dramatic power of this story. The
simplicity of nature, the uncorrupted truth of a
soul, have been portrayed by a master-hand. The
suddenness of the unforeseen tragedy at the last
renders the incident of the story powerful beyond
description. One can only feel such sensations as
the last scene of the story incites. It may be
added that if Mr. Crawford has written some
stories unevenly, he has made no mistakes in the
stories of Italian life. A reader of them cannot
fail to gain a clearer, fuller acquaintance with
the Italians and the artistic spirit that pervades
the country."--M. L. B. in _Syracuse Journal_.

THE WITCH OF PRAGUE.

A Fantastic Tale.

ILLUSTRATED BY W. J. HENNESSY.

"'The Witch of Prague' is so remarkable a book as
to be certain of as wide a popularity as any of
its predecessors. The keenest interest for most
readers will lie in its demonstration of the
latest revelations of hypnotic science. . . . It is
a romance of singular daring and power."--_London
Academy._

"Mr. Crawford has written in many keys, but never
in so strange a one as that which dominates '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._
