The book: This is a fascinating work on chiromancy, more commonly known as palmistry, co-authored by Henry Frith and Edward Heron-Allen. The book delves into the art and science of reading hands to interpret the past, present, and future. It is divided into two main parts: Chiromancy and Chirognomy, covering both the markings of the hand and the general shape and characteristics of the hand. This sixth edition offers a comprehensive guide that would have been a valuable resource for both enthusiasts and practitioners of palmistry in the late 19th century.
