THE NOVELS OF

ANTI-JACOBIN.— "Mr. Crawford has written some stories more powerful, but none more attractive than this."

NATIONAL OBSERVER.— "Increases in strength and in interest even to the end.

ACADEMY.— "Is so remarkable a book as to be certain of as wide a popularity as any of its predecessors; it is a romance of singular daring and power."

ATHENÆUM.— "Readers in search of a good novel may be recommended to lose no time in making the acquaintance of Marion Darche, her devoted friends, and her one enemy."

PUNCH.— "Admirable in its simple pathos, its unforced humour, and, above all, in its truth to human nature."

DAILY CHRONICLE.— "Mr. Crawford has not done better than The Children of the King for a long time. The story itself is a simple and beautiful one."

SPEAKER.— "Mr. Marion Crawford is an artist, and a great one, and he has been brilliantly successful in a task in which ninety-nine out of every hundred writers would have failed."

ATHENÆUM.— "Don Orsitto is a story with many strong points, and it is told with all the spirit we have been wont to expect from its author."

GUARDIAN.— "A very powerful story and a finished work of art."

ATHENÆUM.— "The present instalment of what promises to be a very voluminous family history, increasing in interest and power as it develops, turns upon the death of Robert and the disposition of his millions, which afford ample scope for the author's pleasantly ingenious talent in raising and surmounting difficulties of details."

PALL MALL GAZETTE.—" A splendid romance."

GRAPHIC.— "A stirring story."

SPECTATOR.—" A truly thrilling tale."
