Disciplines Being Lacking in this Treatise
Though the reader may find this primer quite thorough in the demenses of the lines on the palm and the mounds, and though these markings may suffice to foretell a score of predictions and insights, the following elements, which are wanting in this treatise, will lend much-needed accuracy and completion to extrapolations:
- Cheirognomy
- Basic hand shapes
- Fingertip shapes
- Size, length, and meaning of the phalanges
- The hairs on the hands and phalanges
- Nails, their constitution and appearance
- The patterns of the fingerprints
- Cheiromancy
- The quadrangle
- The great triangle
To a lesser extent, this work will not expound upon the specific maladies and organs governed by the lines. Though they be of especial importance when predicting the death and sufferings of an individual whose hand bears ill markings, the emphasis of this book lays in predicting the character, potential, and significant events in the life of the bearer.
