 witty, often pathetic, and always humorous.'

THE GIANT'S ROBE. Popular Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s. 

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



From The Pall Wall 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 r^ad, and cannot cease 

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



THE PARIAH. Popular Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s. Cheap 

 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 makes 

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

 might say, not a dull sentence in it. ... The girls are delightfully drawn, especially 

 the bewitching Margot and the childish Lettice. Nothing that polish and finish, clever- 

 ness, humour, wit and sarcasm can give us is left out.' 



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 torn-fool 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, 2s. 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. Yarker, the ex-butler who has turned police- 

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

From The Speaker. ' Mr. Anstcy has surpassed himself in "Lyre and Lancet." 

 . . . One of the brightest and most entertaining bits of comedy we have had for many 

 a day.'

 fun.'
