Excerpt from The Hand and Its Lines: A Short Treatise on Palmistry

The latter, Chiromancy, is the oldest palmistry, treating as it does of the lines or markings in the hands; and its history is anterior to Abraham and contemporary with the earliest history of the peo ple of India. Passing thus lightly over its grand past and its wonderful struggle for preservation through the interminable wars preceding the birth of Jesus Christ and the annihilation wrought by the book-destroying Vandals of the Middle ages, the time is reached when Chirognomy had its birth.
