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.
