Excerpt from Revelations of the Hand: A Scientific Study of the Shape and Markings of the Hand, as an Index to Character, Disease and Tendencies, With Explanatory Illustrations
It would be quite as sensible to denounce surgery because some one had mistaken a butcher for a surgeon.
I was much amused not long since in listening to a paper, read before a woman's club, on the degrading character of stage productions. The paper was very clever, and the writer's disgust at the low Order of wit and humor displayed in nine-tenths of the farce comedies was shared by every one present.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, written in 1900, is about the then-obscure science of Cheirognomy, or palm reading. Being one of many books on the subject written at the turn of the 19th century, it reflects an enthusiasm for unlocking the mysteries of human character and fate through the study of the hand. The author, a physician and psychologist, discusses the historical and philosophical origins of the practice. They thoroughly describe the seven types of hands that are thought to reveal different temperaments and propensities, as well as the individual characteristics of each finger and the significance of the hand's color, texture, and form. This book is an interesting record of the practice of Cheirognomy at the height of its popularity, offering a glimpse into its methods and providing a unique perspective on the art of palmistry.
