  Mr. F. MARION CRAWFORD'S NOVELS

  THE SARACINESCA SERIES

  _In the binding of the Uniform Edition, each, $1.50_

  =Saracinesca=

  "The work has two distinct merits, either of which would serve to make it great,--that of telling a perfect story in a perfect way, and of giving a graphic picture of Roman society in the last days of the Pope's temporal power.... The story is exquisitely told."--_Boston Traveler._

  =Sant' Ilario.= A Sequel to "Saracinesca"

  "A singularly powerful and beautiful story.... It fulfils every requirement of artistic fiction. It brings out what is most impressive in human action, without owing any of its effectiveness to sensationalism or artifice. It is natural, fluent in evolution, accordant with experience, graphic in description, penetrating in analysis, and absorbing in interest."--_New York Tribune._

  =Don Orsino.= A Sequel to "Sant' Ilario"

  "Perhaps the cleverest novel of the year.... There is not a dull paragraph in the book, and the reader may be assured that once begun, the story of _Don Orsino_ will fascinate him until its close."--_The Critic._

  =Taquisara=

  "To Mr. Crawford's Roman novels belongs the supreme quality of uniting subtly drawn characters to a plot of uncommon interest."--_Chicago Tribune._

  =Corleone=

  "Mr. Crawford is the novelist born ... a natural story-teller, with wit, imagination, and insight added to a varied and profound knowledge of social life."--_The Inter-Ocean_, Chicago.

  =Casa Braccio.=

  _In two volumes, $2.00._ Illustrated by A. Castaigne Like _Taquisara_ and _Corleone_, it is closely related in plot to the fortunes of the Saracinesca family.

  "Mr. Crawford's books have life, pathos, and insight; he tells a dramatic story with many exquisite touches."--_New York Sun._
