 From THE PALL MALL GAZETTE. ' The main interest of the book, which is 

 very strong indeed, begins when Vincent returns, when Harold Caffyn discovers the secret,, 

 when every page threatens to bring down doom on the head of the miserable Mark. 

 Will he confess ? Will ^he drown himself? Will Vincent denounce him? Will Caffyn. 

 inform on him? Will his wife abandon him? we ask eagerly as we read and cannot 

 cease reading till the puzzle is solved in a series of exciting situations.'

Edition. Crown 8vo. limp red cloth, 2s. 6d. 



From THE SATURDAY REVIEW. 'In "The Pariah "we are more than ever 

 struck by the sharp intuitive perception and the satirical balancing of judgment which 

 make the author's writings such extremely entertaining reading. There is not a dull 

 page we might say, not a dull sentence in it. . . .' 

 A 



VICE VERSA ; or, a Lesson to Fathers. Cheap 



Edition. Crown 8vo. limp red cloth, 2s. 6d. 



From THE SATURDAY REVIEW.' If ever there was a book made up from 

 beginning to end of laughter, and yet not a comic book, or a "merry" book, or a book 

 of jokes, or a book of pictures, or a jest book, or a tomfool book, but a perfectly sober 

 and serious book, in the reading of which a sober man may laugh without shame from 

 beginning to end, it is the book called "Vice Versa; or, a Lesson to Fathers." . . . 

 We close the book, recommending it very earnestly to all fathers in the first instance, 

 and their sons, nephews, uncles, and male cousins next.' 



A FALLEN IDOL. Cheap Edition. Crown 8vo. limp 

 red cloth, 25. 6d. 



From THE TIMES. 'Will delight the multitudinous public that laughed over 

 "Vice Versa.". . . The boy who brings the accursed image to Champion's house, 

 Mr. Bales, the artist's factotum, and above all Mr. Yarke_r, the ex-butler who has turned 

 policeman, are figures whom it is as pleasant to meet as it is impossible to forget.'

From THE SPEAKER. ' Mr. Anstey has surpassed himself in "Lyre and

 for many a day.'
