Mr. F. MARION CRAWFORD'S NOVELS

NOVELS OF ROMAN SOCIAL LIFE

_In decorated cloth covers, each, $1.50_

A Roman Singer

"One of the earliest and best works of this famous novelist....
None but a genuine artist could have made so true a picture of
human life, crossed by human passions and interwoven with human
weakness. It is a perfect specimen of literary art."--_The Newark
Advertiser._

Marzio's Crucifix

"We have repeatedly had occasion to say that Mr. Crawford possesses

"Mr. Crawford has written a story of absorbing interest, a story

has done since the memorable _Mr. Isaacs_.... A strong,
interesting, dramatic story, with the picturesque Roman setting
beautifully handled as only a master's touch could do

increasing dramatic quality."--_New York Evening Post._

Pietro Ghisleri
