e. 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 continuation of "Saracinesca" and "Sant' Ilario."

"The third in a rather remarkable series of novels
dealing with three generations of the Saracinesca
family, entitled respectively 'Saracinesca,'
'Sant' Ilario,' and 'Don Orsino,' and these novels
present an important study of Italian life,
customs, and conditions during the present
century. Each one of these novels is worthy of
very careful reading, and offers exceptional
enjoyment in many ways, in the fascinating
absorption of good fiction, in interest of
faithful historic accuracy, and in charm of style.
The 'new Italy' is strikingly revealed in 'Don
Orsino.'"--_Boston Budget._

"We are inclined to regard the book as the most
ingenious of all Mr. Crawford's fictions.
Certainly it is the best novel of the
season."--_Evening Bulletin._

THE THREE FATES.

"The strength of the story lies in its portrayal
of the aspirations, disciplinary efforts, trials,
and triumphs of the man who is a born writer, and
who, by long and painful experiences, learns the
good that is in him and the way in which to give
it effectual expression. The analytical quality of
the book is excellent, and the individuality of
each one of the very dissimilar three fates is set
forth in an entirely satisfactory manner. . . . 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._
