DR. CLAUDIUS.
A True Story. Price, $1.50.
An interesting and attractive story, and in some directions a positive advance upon "Mr. Isaacs."—New York Tribune.
"Dr. Claudius" is surprisingly good, coming after a story of so much merit as "Mr. Isaacs." The hero is a magnificent specimen of humanity, and sympathetic readers will be fascinated by his chivalrous wooing of the beautiful American countess.—Boston Traveller.
ZOROASTER.
Price, $1.50.
The novel opens with a magnificent description of the march of the Babylonian court to Belshazzar's feast, with the sudden and awful ending of the latter by the marvelous writing on the wall which Daniel is called to interpret. From that point the story moves on in a series of grand and dramatic scenes and incidents which will not fail to hold the reader fascinated and spell-bound to the end.—Christian at Work.
The field of Mr. Crawford's imagination appears to be unbounded.... In "Zoroaster" Mr. Crawford's winged fancy ventures a daring flight.... Yet "Zoroaster" is a novel rather than a drama. 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 Times.
