Cheiro, the Irish-born palmist who read the hands of the famous, lays out his system line by line: the head line as a guide to mentality, the life line and its variations, the lines of fate, the sun and the heart, and signs he claimed revealed marriage, children and health. A preface boasts of the American businessmen he taught to judge employees by their hands.
