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 in an extraordinary degree the art of constructing a story. It is as if it could not have been written otherwise, so naturally does the story unfold itself, and so logical and consistent is the sequence of incident after incident. As a story, Marzio’s Crucifix is perfectly constructed.”—New York Commercial Advertiser.
Heart of Rome. A Tale of the Lost Water
“Mr. Crawford has written a story of absorbing interest, a story with a genuine thrill in it; he has drawn his characters with a sure and brilliant touch, and he has said many things surpassingly well.”—New York Times Saturday Review.
