    • Dulcibel , ' by Gertrude M . Hayward . ( Three vols . ) The authoress has achieved a signal success in painting the portrait of the heroine of

    this story . The portrait is decidedly life-like . Neither in outline nor detail is there anything wanting at the close of the novel to complete

    the picture of a gentle , high-spirited , selfforgetful , and clever woman . Dulcibel is a girl when we are first introduced to her , with girlish

    ways and ideas , an attractive * face K a -J nd a winning disposition . In the course of a few years her character rapidly developes , and when

    she becomes the wife of Arthur Scudamore we behold a woman as nearly approaching the ideal of female perfection as the best and most

    exacting of men could desire . The other characters , although for the most part thoroughly natural , are less carefully drawn than that of

    the heroine . Dulcibel's girlish adventures , her industry in mental improvement , her enjoyment of country life , and her various affairs of love

    form the chief colouring in this delightful , picture . The tone and drift of the novel are unimpeachable .

    From Messrs . Jarrold A Sons .- ~* Directory of Ipswich . ' The local information in this Directory appears to be of a thorough and

    comprehensive character . Felixstowe , Walton , Harwich , Dovercourt , and the villages adjoining Ipswich receive careful attention ; and an

    interesting historical aqcount of Ipswich , occupying several pages , stands as a preface to the volume .
