About this Item

First edition, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Mr Everest With best regards Louis Hamon 18 Sept 1919", additionally with his portrait photograph to the front pastedown, inscribed, "Very sincerely yours Louis Hamon". This is the only novel by John William Warner (1866-1936), best known as Cheiro, or Count Louis or Leigh de Hamon, the early 20th-century seer, astrologer, numerologist and palmist. Born near Dublin, Cheiro travelled to Egypt and then India as a teenager. There he studied various arts of divination before returning to England, and eventually emigrating to the US. He styled himself the "society palmist" and performed divination for many notable figures, including King Edward VII, Oscar Wilde, Sarah Bernhardt and Mark Twain. Cheiro, Cheiro's Memoirs: The Reminiscences of a Society Palmist, 1912. Octavo. Original black cloth, lettered and illustrated in white, edges uncut. Author's name erased from title page and the erroneous letter "g" removed from his name on spine and front cover. Spine cocked, ends and corners worn, covers rubbed and marked, inner hinges partially split but sound, foxing to endpapers, toning to margins: a good copy.
