~Dick's Mysteries of the Hand; or, Palmistry made Easy.~ Translated,
Abridged and Arranged from the French Works of Desbarrolles,
D'Arpentigny and De Para d'Hermes. The various lines and mounts on the
palm of the hand, and the typical formation of the hand and fingers
are all clearly explained and illustrated by diagrams. The meaning to
be deduced from the greater or less development of these mounts and
lines (each of which has its own signification), also from the length,
thickness and shape of the thumb and fingers, and from the mutual
bearing they exercise on each other, is all distinctly explained.
Complete facility for instant reference is insured by means of
marginal notes by which any point of detail may be found and consulted
at a glance. By means of this book the hitherto occult mystery of
Palmistry is made simple and easy, and the whole Art may be acquired
without difficulty or delay. It is emphatically Palmistry in a
nutshell, and by its use, character and disposition can be discerned
and probable future destiny foretold with surprising accuracy.
