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.


Broad cap. 8vo, 142 pp., cloth, 3/6.
