Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. IN presenting this volume to the public, I crave their kind indulgence for all its imperfections, asking them only to reserve their opinion of it until they have carefully read from cover to cover. I have tried to express myself as clearly and simply as possible, and I think that, if the pictures are studied attentively in the sequence in which they are placed (not looked at haphazard), my readers will find that Palmistry is a Science, though as yet an inexact one, and meant, if interpreted rightly, to be a guide and assistance to us on our journey through life.
