Palmistry: Your Fate and Fortune in Your Hand

It was Aristotle who wrote that ‘the hand is the organ of organs, the active agent of the passive powers of the whole system’; and palmistry has been practised, not only in Greece but throughout the Far and Middle East, for some three thousand years.

In recent times the universal acceptance by police authorities of the individuality of fingerprints, and research which has shown a direct connection between the finer details of the hand and certain psychotic diseases have helped to revive interest in this ancient occult science. In this profusely-illustrated book the author traces both the history of palmistry and the development of its analytical techniques. He interprets a number of specimen hands, and produces evidence of the power of palmistry to confound even the most sceptical.
