The Whole Hand: Palmistry Revealed

The Whole Hand: Palmistry Revealed

As I stated in preceding chapter, I call Hand as a whole, the Back of the hand, from Wrist to Finger Tips:

Hand proper, the back of the Hand from the Wrist to the Knuckles at the base of the Fingers;
Palm, the Inside of the Hand, from the Wrist to the base of the Fingers—which, by the way—does not correspond at all with the base of the Fingers as seen from the back; and
Palm Proper, the Inside of the Hand, less the space occupied by the Mounts.
I-shall review now such observations as refer:
First: To the Skeleton of the Hand.
Second: To the Hand (is a whole.
Third: To the Hand Proper, by itself, or in comparison of length with the Fingers.
Fourth: To the Hand Proper and the Palm examined together, to judge of the Thickness and Consistency of the Hand.
Fifth: To the Palm by itself;
Sixth: To the Palm Proper.,
Seventh: To the Nails, although they belong altogether to the Finger
Division of the Hand. My only excuse for doing so is that it is really customary to examine the Nails before turning one’s attention to the Fingers and Thumb.
