._--'In his logical conduct of an absurd proposition, in his
fantastic handling of the supernatural, in his brisk dialogue and
effective characterisation, Mr. Anstey has once more shown himself to be
an artist and a humourist of uncommon and enviable merit.'

The Talking Horse and other Tales.

_ATHENAEUM._--'The grimmest of mortals, in his most surly mood, could
hardly resist the fun of "The Talking Horse."'

The Giant's Robe.

_PALL MALL GAZETTE._--'We read and cannot cease reading till the puzzle
is solved in a series of exciting situations.'

The Pariah.

_SATURDAY REVIEW._--'Extremely entertaining reading. There is not a dull
page--we might say, not a dull sentence--in it....'

A Fallen Idol.

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

Lyre and Lancet. With 24 Full-page Illustrations.

_SPEAKER._--'Mr. Anstey has surpassed himself in "Lyre and Lancet."...
One of the brightest and most entertaining bits of comedy we have had
for many a day.'

Vice Versa; or, a Lesson to Fathers.

_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 a 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.'
