About The Book: I have so far elaborated the Introductory Argument which precedes this work as to render any further preface unnecessary, and will, therefore, make use of this opportunity only by asking the reader carefully to peruse that Introductory Argument, wherein he will find expressed the object of this book, and, if such be necessary, its apology. I have only to say that the following pages represent, in a condensed form, the studies and the personal observations of some years. Since the appearance of my former book on the science of Cheiromancy, many similar works have taken their place in the literature of this country; of these those resulting from the labours of Miss Rosa Baughan are the only volumes worthy of any serious consideration. I can only hope that by the perusal of the following pages those students who have taken any interest in this Great Science will be afforded an opportunity of making deeper investigations into the ultimate, as well as into the proximate causes of the science than they have yet been able to make by the perusal of the hitherto standard works upon this subject.
