THE GIANT'S ROBE. 
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 eagerlv as we read and cannot 
cease reading till the puzzle is solved in a series of exciting situations.'

CHEAP EDITION. Crown 8vo. limp red cloth, 2s. 6d. 
THE PARIAH. 
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 chi dish Lettice. Nothing that polish and 
finish, cleverness, humour, wit, and sarcasm can give is left out.' 
CHEAP EDITION. Crown 8vo. limp red cbth, 2s. 6<i. 
VICE VERSA; 
OR, A LESSON TO FATHERS. 
From THE SATURDAY REVIEW.-' If ever there was a book msde 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 new book called "Vice Versa ; or, a Lesson to Fathers." . . . 
We close the book, recommending it very earnestly to all fathers in the first instance, 
nd their sons, nephews, uncles, and male cousins next." 
CHEAP EDITION. Crown 8vo. limp red cloth, 2s. 6</. 
A FALLEN IDOL. 
From THE TIMES. -'Mr. Anstey's new story will delight the multitudinous 
public that laughed over "Vice Versa.". . . The bov 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 policeman, are figures whom it is as pleasant to meet as it a 
impossible to forget.'
