THE THUMB

THE THUMB
 
 B. Shape.
Broad—if long—a good understanding of material things.
 If short —A primitive type of intellect.
Flat—In this case, logic lacks— healthy development; often false logic.
Thick and clumsy—A lower grade of brains; the primitive type again.
Slender—Refinement in thought; sometimes nervousness affecting the reasoning power.
Wasped or waist-shaped— Quick, sharp, brilliant intellect; love of things intellectual.
No Third Phalanx.  Thumb has only two phalanges, and not three, as is commonly believed. The falsely so-called Third Phalanx is in reality the Mount of Venus, and will be studied later under that name.
