rawn. There are many pleasant and painful incidents in the book, which is interesting from beginning to end." =London Morning.=--"Mrs Albert Bradshaw has done such uniformly good work that we have grown to expect much from her. Her latest book is one which will enhance her reputation, and equally please new and old readers of her novels. It is called 'The Gates of Temptation,' and professes to be a natural novel. The story told is one of deep interest. There is no veneer in its presentation, no artificiality about it." =Aberdeen Free Press.=--"Mrs Bradshaw has written several good novels, and the outstanding feature of all of them has been her skilful development of plot, and her tasteful, pleasing style.

This bright idea is handled with no little skill, and the interest is kept up breathlessly until the tragic end of the experiment. The whole story has a racy flavour of the turf." =Sporting Life.=--"The character of the heartless _roue_, who tells his story, is very well sustained, and the rich _parvenu_, Peter Drewitt, the owner of the favourite that is very nearly nobbled by the unscrupu
