The Witches' Dream Book; and Fortune Teller: Embracing full and correct rules of divination concerning dreams and visions, foretelling of future events, their scientific application to physiognomy, palmistry, moles, cards, &c.; together with the application and observance of talismen charms, spells and incantations.

Dreams; Fortune-telling
=Yew Tree.=--To dream of a yew tree, is an indication of the funeral of a
very aged person, by whose death the dreamer will derive some benefit or
protecting hand among the relations of the deceased person. =Yeast.=--If a
young housewife dreams that she is kneading bread with yeast, she may
conclude that she will be the mother of a large family of children.
=Zodiac.=--To dream of the twelve signs of the zodiac, shows to a man that
he will be a great traveler, and sail once around the world. To a woman,
that she will wed a foreigner who is deeply skilled in astronomy.
PHYSIOGNOMY.
The principles of philosophy demonstrate that the human features are a
reflex of the mental and physical workings of the system, as it is from
time to time operated upon by surrounding circumstances, and they
therefore act an important part in depicting the lights and shades of
temperament and disposition. So, also, the color and nature of the hair
are indicative of character. In the pages immediately following will be
found fully presented prognostics to be drawn from the latter, as also
from the forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, chin, and the whole
assemblage of features.
The gentleman whose hair is very black and smooth, hanging far over his
shoulders, and in large quantity, is mild, but resolute; cool until
greatly provoked; not much inclined to excesses; constant in his
attachments; not liable to many misfortunes.
A lady with the same kind of hair is moderate in her desires of every
kind; addicted to reflection; not violent in love, but steady in her
attachments.
If the hair is very black, short and curling, the gentleman will be very
much given to liquor; somewhat quarrelsome and of unsettled temper;
desirous of riches, but will often be disappointed in his wishes therein.
A gentleman with dark brown, long and smooth hair, is generally of a
robust constitution; obstinate in his temper, eager in his pursuits, a
lover of the fair sex, fond of variety in his ordinary pursuits,
exceedingly curious, and of a flexible disposition. He will live long,
unless guilty of early intemperance.
A lady with the same kind of hair will be nearly the same as the
gentleman, but more steady in her conduct and attachments, especially in
love. She will be of a good constitution, have many children, enjoy good
health and a reasonable share of happiness.
If the hair is short and bushy it will make very little alteration in the
gentleman or lady, but that the gentleman will be more forward to strike
when provoked and the lady will be more of a scold.
A gentleman with light brown, long, smooth hair, is of a peaceable, even,
and rather generous temper; will prevent mischief if in his power, but
when very much provoked will strike furiously; but is afterwards sorry for
his passion and soon appeased; strongly attached to the company of ladies
and will protect them from insult. Upon the whole, he is in general of an
amiable character, affable and kind.
