A practical book on palmistry based on the experience and system of Cheiro, the famous fortuneteller of royalty, with numerous illustrations. Part one, chirognomy (study of the hand, seven types of hands, thumbs - their differences and peculiarities, etc.); Part two, chiromancy (lines of the hand, line of life, line of head, line of heart, etc.). About the Author: Cheiro, greatest and most successful seer of modern times, retired from public life after forty years of continuous research work. For years he toured the cities of the world lecturing, teaching and encouraging. For many years the true identity of Cheiro was carefully guarded secret. Only when he had reached the very peak of his profession did Cherio allow it to be known that he was Count Louis Hamon, a Norman nobleman whose ancestry could be traced back to the early days of the Norman French. He was commanded to read the hands of many of the crowned heads of Europe, of presidents of republics and of leaders of commerce. He predicted the date of Queen Victoria's death, the year and month when King Edward VII would pass away, the grim destiny that awaited the late Czar of Russia, the assassination of King Humbert of Italy, the attempt on the Shah's life in Paris, and in thousands of well-known persons' lives he foretold with equal accuracy the outstanding events of their careers.
