Beschreibung

Octavo with white vellum boards and decorative black text; xvi, 109 pages, ix leaves of plates: illustrations; 22 cm. Detailed guide to palmistry, from the shape of the hand and length of the fingers to the lines thereupon. Beautiful cover! "The reading of the hand is a science which has been, and still is, very generally condemned, the people who condemn it being always those who know least of all concerning the subject they condemn. A science which was practised in India certainly a thousand years before Christ; which was known and appreciated in Ancient Egypt; one which the Greeks believed in and taught; which men like Aristotle, Alexander the Great, Pliny, Hispanus and others either wrote about or understood, is one which must have trust as its foundation." -- Preface by the author. $4. Front board bowed slightly (likely from vellum) and showing some minor spots, pages clean and binding quite good, though a tad loose at center; some light toning to edges of leaves; a very good, handsome copy.
