Preliminaries

"From a cursory examination of the animal world, we may gather the important conclusion that
from the structure of an extremity we may obtain a complete insight into the entire organism of an
animal; and thus the paws furnished with sharp retractile claws of the lion indicate at once toa
naturalist its strong teeth. its powerful jaws, its muscular strength of limbs; while from the cleft of the
cow the complicated structure of its stomach, the deiinite peculiarities of its jaws and its vegetable diet
may with equal certainty be predicted."- The [land Phrenologrkully Considered.

Chirognomic Observations

Basedupon the system conceived and developed by Cnsnmt Srmusus d'Aanrmcnv. a distin-
guished French mvalry oEcer and a scholar, born in Normandy, March 13, 1798. Served under Napo-
leon in 1814 at the siege of Dautzic; entered the service of King Louis XVIII., 1815; appointed to the
Royal Body Guard, 1820, he had reached the raulr of a captain when he retired in 1844. Attracted to
the study of occult sci ces, he neglected ancient Chiromancy and gave his whole attention to the
outward aspect-the Physiognomy, eoto speak-of the human hand. In 1839, the result of his investi-
gations appmred under the title of Ld Chirognomonxk. In 1865 a third edition of this great book came
out under the title of La Science de Ia Main. Modified and improved by Dcsbarroll , the knowledge
of the d'Arpmtigny system of Chirognomy forms the its! and indispensable step toward a complete
logial knowledge of the Hand.

Chlromantic Observations

Based upon the system of the ancient Chiromnnts, ns explained, developed and vastly improved
upon by Annum Ax>o1.rn¢Dxsneano|.|.|.s, n famous French painter and scientist, born in Paris, August
zz, 1801, died there February 11, 1886. After obtaining marked recognition in the Paris Salons, he
traveled extensively in Germany. Italy and Spain, and finally chose ns his life work the rehabilitation
of Chiromancy, at the time a most degenerate science. After fifteen years' close study, he published.
in1859, the first edition of Les Mystéres de la Main (zzd edition, 1895); in 1865, his Almanac de la
Max'n; in 1869, bisjournal de Chiromancie, and, in 1819, his Rl:/llalxbns Complétes, the largest book
on the subject ever attempted. He added to these monuments of his indefntigable labor Les Mystéres
de l'Ecr-ilure, the standard work on Graphology. For forty-four years, his whole time, attention and
labor were devoted to Palmzstry under its most varied aspects.

Additional Cases

These cases, as well as those disseminated through the other Parts of this book, are-many of
them-borrowed from Dubarrolles' magnum opus, Révélations Completes." They have never been
"

translated into the English language and their careful study constitutes, in my opinion, the very best
of practice for the student of Palmistry. He iinds combined in them many indications scattered through
these pages, and he is taught how to generahke the infomation obtained and to apply it intelligibly.
Book deinitions are bound to be narrow and on that account somewhat misleading. By broadening
them, not recklxly but in moderation, a well trained intelligence will soon know how to give them
their full inward meaning. This study of "cases" ought really to precede the aaminationof "living

Phrenology and Palmlstry Compared

The diacoverers and exponenteof Phrenology were two German scientists: Franz joeeph Gad,
born in the Grand Duchy of Baden, March 9, 1758, who began lecturing on craniology in Vienna in
1796, meeting with great opposition and even persecution on account of his belief in the influence of
the brain upon the contours of the ekull. He died in 1818. His pupil and associate, johann Caspar
Spurxheim, was born at Longrich on the Moeelle, December 3r, 1776. Their Brat grwt boolr, Analo-
fill? et Physiologk du Systhne Nerves: et du Cerveau en Parliculkr, came out in Paris in 1810-19;
later, Spurzheim, who had settled in London, published The Physabgnonnkal System q' Drs. Gall
and Spurzheifn, based on an anatomzkal and playsiologxkal examinalion of the Nervous System
and lhe Brain in Partkular (London: 1814).
In 1835 W. Lewis translated from the French Dr. Gall's clasical work on the subject: On the
Functions of the Brain and ry' Each q' 12: Parts (6 vols).

Additional Cases

Theeecaaes, as well as those diseemlnated through the other Parte of this book, are-many of
them--borrowed from Deebarrolles' magnum opus, "
Révélations Completes." They have never been
translated into the English language and their careful study constitutes, in my opinion, the very best
of practice for the studentof Palmistry. He finds combined in them many indications scattered
through
these pages, and he is taught how to generalize the information obtained and to apply it intelligibly.
Boolr deiinitiona are bound to be narrow and on that account somewhat misleading. By broadening
them, not recklessly but in moderation, a well trained intelligence will soon know how to give them
their full inward meaning. This study of "canes" ought really to precede the examinationof "living
hands."
