Ebook Cheiro's Language of the Hand

TO believe is to perceive — either by the senses or the soul. This distino tion constitutes two classes — the skeptic and the believer, which, though dependent on, may yet be incomprehensible to, each other; but both being necessary to establish the balance Of thought, they are forced into existence and become the links and cross-links which make life's endless chain from thought to truth. In placing the following work before the public, though deeply conscious Of my responsibility, I am also conscious Of the good that may be derived through such a study. I have therefore endeavored to write, not for any distinct class, but for all, believing in the ultimate universal acceptance Of those, natural laws which constitute nature and control mankind, and which are peculiarly exemplified by this study Of the hand.
