Translated, Abridged and Arranged from the French Works of Desbarrolles, D’Arpentigny and De Para d’Hermes. This book is a concise summary of the elaborate works of the above-named authorities on Palmistry. The various lines and mounts on the palm of the hand, and the typical formation of the hand and fingers are all clearly explained and illustrated by diagrams. The meaning to be deduced from the greater or less development of these mounts and lines (each of which has its own signification), also from the length, thickness and shape of the thumb and fingers, and from the mutual bearing they exercise on each other, is all distinctly explained. Complete facility for instant reference is insured by means of marginal notes by which any point of detail may be found and consulted at a glance.
