Mr. Isaacs (India)
Its scenes are laid in Simla, chiefly. This is the work which first placed its author among the most brilliant novelists of his day.
Greifenstein (The Black Forest)
“… Another notable contribution to the literature of the day. It possesses originality in its conception and is a work of unusual ability. Its interest is sustained to the close, and it is an advance even on the previous work of this talented author. Like all Mr. Crawford’s work, this novel is crisp, clear, and vigorous, and will be read with a great deal of interest.”—New York Evening Telegram.
Zoroaster (Persia)
“It is a drama in the force of its situations and in the poetry and dignity of its language; but its men and women are not men and women of a play. By the naturalness of their conversation and behavior they seem to live and lay hold of our human sympathy more than the same characters on a stage could possibly do.”—The New York Times.
The Witch of Prague (Bohemia)
“A fantastic tale,” illustrated by W. J. Hennessy.
“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.
Paul Patoff (Constantinople)
