The last of the famous Saracinesca Series
"It is by far the most stirring and dramatic of all the author's Italian stories.... The plot is a masterly one, bringing at almost every page a fresh surprise, keeping the reader in suspense to the very end."—The Times, New York.
MR. ISAACS
"It is lofty and uplifting. It is strongly, sweetly, tenderly written. It is in all respects an uncommon novel."—The Literary World.
DR. CLAUDIUS
"The characters are strongly marked without any suspicion of caricature, and the author's ideas on social and political subjects are often brilliant and always striking. It is no exaggeration to say that there is not a dull page in the book, which is peculiarly adapted for the recreation of the student or thinker."—Living Church.
A ROMAN SINGER
"A powerful story of art and love in Rome."—The New York Observer.
AN AMERICAN POLITICIAN
"One of the characters is a visiting Englishman. Possibly Mr. Crawford's long residence abroad has made him select such a hero as a safeguard against slips, which does not seem to have been needed. His insight into a phase of politics with which he could hardly be expected to be familiar is remarkable."—Buffalo Express.
