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.' * * * * * CHEAP EDITION. Crown 8vo. limp red cloth, 2_s._ 6_d._ 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.' * * * * * CHEAP EDITION. Crown 8vo. limp red cloth, 2_s._ 6_d._ 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.' * * * * * London: SMITH, ELDER, & CO., 15 Waterloo Place. * * * * * NOVELS BY THE AUTHOR OF 'MEHALAH.' _Fcp. 8vo. Pictorial boards, 2s. each; or limp red cloth, 2s. 6d. each._ * * * * * MEHALAH: A STORY OF THE SALT MARSHES. 'The book is one of the most powerful that has, so far as we know, appeared for many years. It will remind many readers of Emily Bronte's wonderful story, "Wuthering Heights," and indeed in some respects it is even more powerful.'--SCOTSMAN. '"Mehalah" is far above the ordinary level of novels. The writer possesses strength, and strength is one of the rarest qualities in modern fiction.'--DAILY NEWS. 'A bit of real romance: original, violent, powerful, novel both in place and circumstance, and peculiarly impressive.'--TRUTH. * * * * * JOHN HERRING: A WEST OF ENGLAND ROMANCE. 'Among most novels of the day "John Herring" is a very considerable work indeed, and both deserves and will receive proportionate attention.'--PALL MALL GAZETTE. 'Far, very far, above the level of ordinary novels.'--ACADEMY.
