Midland Mail.—“An interesting story.… Exceedingly well written.”
Daily Despatch.—“‘The Magnetism of Sin’ is a story as choke full of mystery as any tale could be.… The author of the book—who is obviously a very daring young man—has written a story which is as remarkable in its way as ‘The Mystery of a Hansom Cab.’”
Evening News (Manchester).—“Lovers of the sensational in fiction will find plenty to interest them in ‘The Magnetism of Sin.’… The story is full of romance and dramatic incident, the chapters dealing with the raid on the house by the police, the fight for liberty, the bold escape of the double-dyed traitor, and his subsequent capture and execution in Australia being particularly thrilling.”

Dr Parker (of the City Temple) says:—“From beginning to end the action of the story is most vivid and most natural. It must certainly win itself many readers.”
Literary World.—“This novel is decidedly above the average.”
Daily Graphic.—“Amply repays for the reading, for it is written with a keen sense of the fitness of things, and without setting probability at nought—qualities not too frequently found in novels. It is written in a sympathetic style, and keeps the attention centred in the interesting career of the heroine.”
Daughters of Pleasure. A Novel. By Anna, Comtesse de Brémont. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 6s.
Topical Times.—“Brisk and spicy without being blatant and salacious … a very good book, which says a lot of things that wanted saying frankly but delicately. It is, at the same time, an engrossing romance.”
