O Jackson.’ —My graphological reading of your character gives great imaginative power and refined and cultivated tastes. You possess much musical talent (this is indicated by the large loops to your h’s and t’s). I think you must excel in the art of composition, always paying strict attention to accuracy and ’technique.’ Your abilities are by no means confined to music. You have much versatility, and at the same time perseverance, energy, and mental activity are all perceptible ; but a little more firmness and tenacity of will would be beneficial, and you are far too sensitive. You have exquisite tact, much courtesy of manner and consideration, especially for those who are weaker than yourself, but you are too easily wounded by censure or criticism, and your vivid imagination otten tends to increase this difficulty. Your comprehension is unusually quick, and you arrive at conclusions so rapidly, that although your judgment is often correct, you run the risk of exaggeration in adverse circumstances or unpleasantness to yourself only, as you are reserved excepting with those with whom you are on intimate terms. Your temperament is impulsive, and you are exceedingly generous, but not imprudent. You appreciate outward appearances, and value popularity, which from numerous indications I am sure you can easily secure.—Marcella.

‘ Florine.’—You have a most genial and unselfish disposition, full of kindliness and bright intelligence, but (as I find it to be so very often the case in the most charming characters amongst the many I delineate) you are much too sensitive. All your sensibilities are acute, vour capacity for enjoyment is keen, your spirits are buoyant, you throw yourself into a subject and become deeply interested, nor are you easily depressed or discouraged, for your temperament is elastic and cheerful, but your affections are exceedingly warm, your nerves are highly strung, and for those who, like you, are capable of intense affection and happiness, there is always a possibility of suffering also. You have an excellenttemper, impulsive, but the impulse is always gendered by generosity. There may be a slight deficiency of prudence, but I detect no sign of extravagance. Although not vividly imaginative, you appreciate both fun and humour, and readily comprehend a joke. Your taste is good, and your abilities are above the average. As a friend you are constant and sincere, and although so warm-hearted you are not impressionable. You like agreeable society, but you delight in the pleasures of home and the art of giving enjoyment to others. You have little ambition, and still less vanity, but you place a high value on the opinion of those you love, and, as a rule, you prefer their judgment to your own. —Marcella.

‘Jemima.’ —I must confess to some bewilderment in giving the delineation of your character, and you must pardon me if the attributes appear to be rather masculine than feminine. You possess great originality and much power of observation and discernment. You adhere vigorously to stern reality and ‘fact,’and are too practical to have faith in imagination. Prudence and cautious discretion are strongly accentuated, and although very energetic, you are not in the least impulsive but ‘ guarded ’in speech and action. You have an abundance of self-reliance, a strong will, and yonr mind is vigorous. You are clever, intelligent, and especially skilful in the art of constructing. Your affections are very deep, and although you are reserved in expressing them, you like and expect to receive a full return. You are impatient of restraint, and fetters of any kind are antagonistic to your iudependent spirit. Perfect freedom of thought is essential to you. You are severe in general criticism, but just and honourable in conduct and intention. You seldom display emotional feelings, but nevertheless you conceal a warm heart beneath a mantle of reserve, not unmixed with sensitive pride.—Marcella.

' Mannie Lascelle’ (Murchison). — Your handwriting indicates a poetical and imaginative temperament, i e., you are fond of poetry’ and have artistic taste, but your mind is clear, well regulated and refined, and although your imagination is fertile, your actions are consistent, and you are conscientiously truthful. Your temper is remarkably even and placid, nevertheless you are by no means deficient in force of character. You never worry or ‘ hurry ’ yourself or other people unnecessarily, and perhaps a little more energy and perseverance would be beneficial, but if you consider ‘ duty ’ to be called in question, you at once become firm and decided. You are not impressionable or vehemently emotional, but your friendship or love once gained is constant and unalterable. You possess much discernment, and although your words are well chosen, you think deeply, and more than you speak. You are neat and orderly, very prudent, and a good manager, but you pay due deference to appearances and the rites of hospitality. You have a fair share of ambition, but you require to be really interested to inspire determination to excel, as you have little vanity or love of display.—Marcella.
