The Catechism of Palmistry

by Gustav Wilhelm Geßmann

Geßmann's handbook of 1895, in English for the first time. Part one is chirognomy, the doctrine of the hand's form, with d'Arpentigny's seven hand types; part two turns the hand over to the mounts, the principal lines and the signs of the palm.
