THE WITCH OF PRAGUE
"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.
TO LEEWARD
"It is an admirable tale of Italian life told in a spirited way and far better than most of the fiction current."—San Francisco Chronicle.
ZOROASTER
"As a matter of literary art solely, we doubt if Mr. Crawford has ever before given us better work than the description of Belshazzar's feast with which the story begins, or the death-scene with which it closes."—The Christian Union (now The Outlook).
A TALE OF A LONELY PARISH
"It is a pleasure to have anything so perfect of its kind as this brief and vivid story. It is doubly a success, being full of human sympathy, as well as thoroughly artistic."—The Critic.
MARZIO'S CRUCIFIX
"We take the liberty of saying that this work belongs to the highest department of character-painting in words."—The Churchman.
