SATURDAY REVIEW—"With the exception of 'Saracinesca,' his most consistent work, Mr. Crawford has not written anything so good as his last novel 'Greifenstein.'"
ACADEMY—"During the whole of his literary career Mr. Marion Crawford has produced nothing quite so powerful as one or two of the situations in 'Greifenstein.'"
SANT' ILARIO.
ATHENÆUM—"The plot is skilfully concocted, and the interest is sustained to the end. The various events, romantic, and even sensational, follow naturally and neatly, and the whole is a very clever piece of work."
SCOTSMAN—"The book is full of passages of remarkable power. A reader will find it hard to decide whether this is not the best of Mr. Crawford's novels."
A CIGARETTE-MAKER'S ROMANCE.
OXFORD MAGAZINE—"The idea of the story is original, the characters well drawn, and the interest sustained to the very last page. That Mr. Crawford, having a good story to tell, should tell it well, was only to be expected."
GLOBE—"We are inclined to think this the best of Mr. Marion Crawford's stories.... His art is here at its best, and those who read his book will feel grateful to him for its keen humanity."
