The mounts marked with good figures and characters show good and happy omens, being vitiated with confused or broken characters, etc., or lines, they always denote the contrary, unless they are restrained by other lines that be good.
Chiromancers generally teach that the first joints near the mount of the finger indicate the early age, the second, the flourishing state of manhood, and the last old age. But our opinion is that the planets shown by the nativity of the persons do, in their proper order, manifest their marks and characters whether for good or bad.

Signs on the Head. How to Read the Forehead.
If a person has a broad forehead and takes the form of ⌒, a crescent, he was born of poor parents but is sure to be rich.
If a prominent single vein or mark extends from the nose to the top of the forehead the person is born to immense wealth.
If there are many similarly placed the person is very vicious.
If the forehead is depressed in the middle he is very jealous and a lascivious or sinful man.
