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 book called 'Vice Versâ; 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."
CHEAP EDITION, Crown 8vo, limp red cloth, 2s. 6d.
A FALLEN IDOL.
From THE TIMES.—"Mr. Anstey's new story will delight the multitudinous public that laughed over 'Vice Versâ'.... 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."
