Author of "The Heritage of Unrest"
With Illustrations by ARTHUR I. KELLER
Cloth 12mo $1.50
"A novel of uncommon beauty and depth ... in every way an unusual
book."--_Louisville Times._
"One of the few very important books of the year."--_The Sun_, New York.
"Is so far above the general run of the fiction of to-day as to be
strongly attractive, just because of this contrast, but it is, for
itself, something to move heart and brain to quick action and deep
admiration."--_Nashville American._

The Heart of Rome
By F. MARION CRAWFORD
Author of "Saracinesca," "In the Palace of the King,"
"Cecilia," "Ave Roma Immortalis," etc.
Cloth 12mo $1.50
This striking title is perfectly descriptive of the book. Mr. Crawford,
who has studied Rome in all its phases and has been writing novels and
serious books about it for twenty years, has undertaken to put "the
heart of Rome" into his latest novel. Many authors have undertaken to do
this, but in almost every case the result, however it may have been
praised for various features, has been adjudged in the end
unsatisfactory. The author of "Saracinesca" has here written his
strongest and best work; a novel in which, around an absorbing love
story, are described the manifold elements that go to make up the whole
of the Eternal City as it exists at the present time. It is said by
those who have read the story that it will stand as a picture of Roman
and Italian life without a peer. Mr. Crawford has been living in Italy
most of the year in order to be close to the atmosphere and the life of
the city which he has here depicted.
