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.'
