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 eagerly as we read, and cannot cease reading till
the puzzle is solved in a series of exciting situations.'

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 childish Lettice. Nothing that polish and finish,
cleverness, humour, wit, and sarcasm can give is left out.'

VICE VERSA;

OR, A LESSON TO FATHERS.

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

A FALLEN IDOL.

+From THE TIMES.+--'Mr. Anstey's new story 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.'
