interesting story."--_New York Tribune._

Paul Patoff (Constantinople)

"Mr. Crawford has a marked talent for assimilating local color, not
to make mention of a broader historical sense. Even though he may
adopt, as it is the romancer's right to do, the extreme romantic
view of history, it is always a living and moving picture that he
evolves for us, varied and stirring."--_New York Evening Post._

Marietta (Venice)

"No living writer can surpass Mr. Crawford in the construction of a
complicated plot and the skilful unravelling of the tangled
skein."--_Chicago Record-Herald._

"He has gone back to the field of his earlier triumphs, and has,
perhaps, scored the greatest triumph of them all."--_New York
Herald._

Via Crucis. A Romance of the Second Crusade. Illustrated by Louis Loeb

"_Via Crucis_ ... A tale of former days, possessing an air of
reality and an absorbing interest such as few writers since Scott
have been able to accomplish when dealing with historical
characters."--_Boston Transcript._

In the Palace of the King (Spain)

"_In the Palace of the King_ is a masterpiece; there is a
picturesqueness, a sincerity which will catch all readers in an
agreeable storm of emotion, and even leave a hardened reviewer
impressed and delighted."--_Literature_, London.

With the Immortals

"The strange central idea of the story could have occurred only to
a writer whose mind was very sensitive to the current of modern
thought and progress, while its execution, the setting it forth in
proper literary clothing, could be successfully attempted only by
one whose active literary ability should be fully equalled by his
power of assimilative knowledge both literary and scientific, and
no less by his courage and capacity for hard work. The book will be
found to have a fascination entirely new for the habitual reader of
novels. Indeed, Mr. Crawford has succeeded in taking his readers
quite above the ordinary plane of novel interest."--_Boston
Advertiser._
