Excerpt from Perin's Science of Palmistry: A Complete and Authentic Treatise, Logically Arranged and Profusely Illustrated, on the Science of Palmistry, Based Upon the Principles of Astrology, the Works of Ancient and Modern Palmists and the Experiences of the Author
Various ways were adopted by the Ancients for di vining characters and fore-telling future events. By auguries, by the entrails of birds being accidentally placed upon the altar, and other ways too numerous and too well known for the author to make much further mention.
Among them, however, the method of divining char acter by the science of Astrology gained the greatest degree of prominence.
The exact age of Astrology is not known, but it was first arranged in a code of mysteries called the Cabala, which the magi handed down to the succeeding genera tion orally.
The science of Astrology was practiced many centur ies ago In almost all of the countries of the East, and those ancient philosophers laid great stress upon the influence exerted by the planets over the physical, moral and mental conditions of man.
They considered seven the only perfect number, and they limited the number of stars having any influence upon mind and matter to seven.
