Of actual errors in statement of facts or principles there seem to be relatively few.” C. W. H.

“Two graphic pictures of the racecourse are all that [the author] gives of definite action; the remainder of the book is concerned with the entry into the self-deluding community of Worsted Skeynes of a natural, lawless passion which, attacking one of its members, exercises a paralyzing effect upon the whole.... The portraiture in the author’s gallery will reward the attention of all who love the mirror of truth.”—Ath.
