  Mr. F. MARION CRAWFORD'S NOVELS

  WITH SCENES LAID IN ENGLAND AND AMERICA

  _In the binding of the Uniform Edition_

  =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 in its nice balancing of the unusual with the commonplace, the clever juxtaposition of innocence and guilt, comedy and tragedy, simplicity and intrigue."--_Critic._

  =Dr. Claudius.= A True Story

  The scene changes from Heidelberg to New York, and much of the story develops during the ocean voyage.

  "There is a satisfying quality in Mr. Crawford's strong, vital, forceful stories."--_Boston Herald._

  =An American Politician.=

  The scenes are laid in Boston

  "It need scarcely be said that the story is skilfully and picturesquely written, portraying sharply individual characters in well-defined surroundings."-_New York Commercial Advertiser._

  =The Three Fates=

  "Mr. Crawford has manifestly brought his best qualities as a student of human nature and his finest resources as a master of an original and picturesque style to bear upon this story. Taken for all in all, it is one of the most pleasing of all his productions in fiction, and it affords a view of certain phases of American, or perhaps we should say of New York, life that have not hitherto been treated with anything like the same adequacy and felicity."--_Boston Beacon._

  =Marion Darche=

  "Full enough of incident to have furnished material for three or four stories.... A most interesting and engrossing book. Every page unfolds new possibilities, and the incidents multiply rapidly."--_Detroit Free Press._

  "We are disposed to rank Marion Darche as the best of Mr. Crawford's American stories."-_The Literary World._

  =Katharine Lauderdale=

  =The Ralstons.= A Sequel to "Katharine Lauderdale"

  "Mr. Crawford at his best is a great novelist, and in _Katharine Lauderdale_ we have him at his best."--_Boston Daily Advertiser._

  "A most admirable novel, excellent in style, flashing with humor, and full of the ripest and wisest reflections upon men and women."--_The Westminster Gazette._

  "It is the first time, we think, in American fiction that any such breadth of view has shown itself in the study of our social framework."--_Life._
