LYRE AND LANCET.
A STORY IN SCENES.
By F. ANSTEY,
Author of "Vice Versa," "Voces Populi," etc., etc
16mo. Cloth. $1.25.
"The situations are so funny, and the talk so bright, that it is easy to recognize the light and gifted pen of the author of 'Vice Versa.' The book sparkles from cover to cover."—Boston Courier.
"The reader who does not heartily laugh to see the predicament in which Mr. Anstey has placed a score or more people has certainly no sense of humor."—Boston Daily Advertiser.
"Mr. Anstey has surpassed himself in 'Lyre and Lancet.' The delightful comedy of a night and a day.... There is no need to reveal the plot of this diverting tale.... Mr. Anstey subdues the element of broad farce, and gives us instead one of the brightest and most entertaining bits of comedy we have had for many a day. His characters speak for themselves, and do it so effectually that each one of them stands distinctly before us. Close observation, brilliant analysis of character, and an overflowing humor, give 'Lyre and Lancet' a special charm, and make it a book to be eagerly seized for the diversion of a railway journey or a dull evening in the country."—The Speaker.
"A sort of country home comedy, in which the characterization and the talk are wonderfully true to life. The little book is amusing from beginning to end."—The Globe.
