Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. About the Book:- This book contain the Study of Physiology and Chiromancy ( or palmistry) were not uncommonly united, and many seers tried their hands at the art. We have found two very excellent professors, whose works, with other rather more modern and equally scarce pamphlets, we have laid under contribution in the following pages. We have devoted some years to the study of the subject and reading the palm as we do we find much to recommend the art. There is considerable instruction to be gained by its practice, but we would recommend caution in fully interpreting the lines of the hand in public. There may well be occasions when silence even will best meet the case for putting aside the objection sensitive people may entertain on the subject, nervous individuals and those whose minds are apt to dwell upon trifles as likely to affect their future happiness should not be " operated on."

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the ancient art of reading the hand, known as Chiromancy. The author delves into both Chirognomy, the study of hand shapes and their associated character traits, and Chiromancy, the practice of interpreting lines and markings on the palm. Drawing upon a rich historical context that includes references to ancient Roman practices and the work of notable figures like Lavater and DArpentigny, the book provides a detailed analysis of the significance of various hand formations, from the shape and size of the palm to the intricacies of the fingers and thumbs. The author presents a fascinating system for understanding how the hand reveals a person's inherent tendencies, character, and potential. Through a detailed examination of the different types of hands, such as the Elementary, Spatulate, Artistic, Useful, Philosophical, and Psychic, the reader can glean insights into the nature of their own personality and potential. The author goes beyond superficial interpretations, emphasizing the importance of considering the consistency of the hand, its softness or firmness, and how this impacts the development of a person's inherent inclinations. This captivating exploration of the hidden language of the hand offers a unique lens through which to understand oneself and others, providing a rich tapestry of insights into the complexities of human nature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
