TOURMALIN'S TIME CHEQUES.
A FARCICAL EXTRAVAGANCE.
By F. ANSTEY,
Author of "Vice Versa," "Voces Populi," "The Tinted Venus," &c.
"Mr. Anstey is always welcome; some think him 'our only humorist.' Mr. Anstey's talent combines very minute observation, with a taste for the farcically extravagant. His motive is odd in such a kindly and friendly genius, for he always likes to show us a harmless fellow struggling with the direst series of perplexing circumstances. . . . It is easy to imagine what fun Mr. Anstey gets out of all this, and how ruthlessly he lodges his hero in trouble, while a dilemma is for ever 'sounding her dread orns' at his doors. It is needless to explain how all ends; the reader should not be deprived of the pleasure of his bob's vorth,' as Mr. Pickwick's cabman says."—Daily News.
"Only a person who had determined to find faults could discover any in this little volume."—The Glasgow Herald.

Three Men in a Boat.
(TO SAY NOTHING OF THE DOG.)
By JEROME K. JEROME,
Author of "Idle thoughts of an idle Fellow," "Stageland," etc.
ILLUSTRATIONS BY A. FREDERICS.
"It would be dangerous to read this book in any place—say a full railway compartment—where the reader was not at perfect liberty to laugh as loudly and as long as he choose."—Glasgow Herald.
"It is impossible to read any single chapter in the book without indulging in the heartiest laughter, so quaint are the turns of thought and the manner of expression. . . . Mr. Jerome has been lucky to secure the help of Mr. A. Frederics as illustrator of his thrice delightful volume, and it is embellished with the most artistic illustrations, which add considerably charm of reading."—Whitehall Review.
"His book is one to buy, read, and laugh at quand meme."—Land and Water.
Crown 8vo, cloth, 288 pp., 3/6.
The End of a Life.

"Lovers of sensational fiction will find this book sufficiently exciting for the most jaded palate."—The Gentlewoman.
"The plot is original, the characters are distinctly pictured and ably grouped, the dialogue is excellent, and there are not a few striking sayings. The End of a Life is well written, well considered, and well planned. The two sisters, Mary and Rose, are delightful studies of pure and truthful womanhood."—The Athenæum.
