“The glove-makers ought to present the author with a service of gold plate. He will be a rash man who lets anybody see his bare hands after this. We are anxious to find a lost pair of gloves before we go out for a breath of fresh air after such an exhausting study as this book has furnished us.”—Sheffield and Rotherham Independent.
“Palmistry, chiromancy, and their kindred studies, may be mystical, indeed, but never unworthy. There is more in them than the mass imagine, and to those who care to wade into them. Mr. Craig will prove himself a capital guide.”—Manchester Weekly Post.
“The illustrations are curious. Those whose care to study the matter of hands, fortunate or unfortunate, will find abundant materials here.”—Literary World.
“It is certainly a ‘handy book,’ for hands of every class are so carefully described that all the signs of the palms may be readily ‘got up’ by those who wish to deal in this simplest of the dark sciences.”—Publishers’ Circular.
“The work is of surpassing interest.”—Aberdeen Journal.
“Gives the fullest rules for interpreting the lines and marks on the hands, fingers, and wrists, as well as the points of character indicated by their shape. We can imagine this little book, which is illustrated by five diagrams, being a source of a large amount of amusement.”—Bookseller.
