Nor do I deem it necessary to dwell upon\\nthe period known as the Middle Ages. The struggles of the human\\nmind to attain the knowledge of the truth were then still crude\\nand but partially successful; they did not produce their full result\\nuntil the sixteenth century, when the fine Renaissance of the intel\u00c2\u00ac\\nlect took place which was the beginning of the modern era.\\nDuring the Middle Ages palmistry was constantly studied and\\npractised, but it was not until the sixteenth century that a work was", "height": "4552", "width": "3318", "jp2-path": "nibloscompletepa00nibl_0009.jp2"}, "10": {"fulltext": "1V\\nPreface.\\nV\\npublished presenting a comprehensive view of the whole subject.\\nThis work was complete in its developments, ingenious and rational\\nin its deductions in a word, worthy to serve as the first monument\\nto the science of palmistry as understood in those days.\\nDuring the seventeenth century the taste for the study had al\u00c2\u00ac\\nready become widespread; various treatises upon palmistry, written\\nby men of eminent scientific attainments, made their appearance\\none after another. Of these authors I will mention only the names\\nof Dr. Rothman and Dr. Saunders, whose works found a place in\\nthe most famous libraries.\\nIt was reserved for the present age to furnish palmistry with its\\nelect apostles and a definite code\u00e2\u0080\u0094a code not based exclusively upon\\nthe mighty traditions of the past, nor upon the reflection and re\u00c2\u00ac\\nsearches of ages gone. This code was also chiefly founded upon the\\ndiscoveries of modern science and upon numberless experiments\\nwhich were made again and again in the full light of publicity and\\nfrequently with the cooperation of distinguished supporters of\\nabsolute skepticism.\\nThe first of these men took issue directly with the ancient doc\u00c2\u00ac\\ntrine.\\nPalmistry, according to Captain d\u00e2\u0080\u0099Arpentigny\u00e2\u0080\u0094for such was the\\nname of this distinguished man\u00e2\u0080\u0094may be reduced purely and simply\\nto cheirognomy, or merely to the study of the two hands with respect\\nto their general shape, the form of the fingers, the form of the pha\u00c2\u00ac\\nlanges upon which grow the nails, and the greater or less develop\u00c2\u00ac\\nment of the finger-joints.\\nD\u00e2\u0080\u0099Arpentigny\u00e2\u0080\u0099s cheirognomy only presented one side of the great\\nscience of palmistry. For him the lines on the hand and their in\u00c2\u00ac\\nterpretation were a dead language the close and intimate tie which\\nunites cheirognomy with cheiromancy eluded his observation never\u00c2\u00ac\\ntheless, to d\u00e2\u0080\u0099Arpentigny belongs the glory of having first explained", "height": "4552", "width": "3318", "jp2-path": "nibloscompletepa00nibl_0010.jp2"}, "11": {"fulltext": "Preface.\\nv\\nthe correlation between the form of the hand and man\u00e2\u0080\u0099s existence.\\nThis he did, not by the help of the imperfect dissertations of the\\nancients, but by the intrinsic laws of this physical and animal life\\nof which we are the centre, and of which\u00e2\u0080\u0094though, alas, only to a\\nlimited extent\u00e2\u0080\u0094we are the masters and protectors.\\nhile we cannot insist too strongly upon the fact that Desbar-\\nrolles has enlarged the domain traversed by d\u00e2\u0080\u0099Arpentigny as well as\\nperpetuated his doctrine, we must add that he has accepted in\\nextenso the series of propositions laid down by the old soldier,\\nNapoleon the First.\\nI shall follow the line of argument traced by him and his prede\u00c2\u00ac\\ncessors.

Then notice whether\\nthe fingers are long or short. At first you can hardly tell whether\\nthey are long or short, but after a little time you will be able to\\njudge at once of length or shortness by comparison with the\\nother hands you have seen the same remarks apply to the thumb.\\nYou have already noticed whether the hands are soft or hard\\nnow you will turn your attention to the palm, to see what mount or\\nmounts govern the instincts, and how those mounts are governed in\\nturn by primary or secondary lines.
