Often such judgments are errOne-
Gus, and l do not know that they
have ever been proved by large
series Of experiments to be more
frequently right than wrong. But it
is possible that correct indications
may sometimes be thus obtained
Many people think that they can
form more or less correct judgments
as to certain mental characteristics
by observing the shape and play OF
the hand and fingers or of the foot.
There may be such a correlation OF
the gesture and form of hands or
feet with some mental qualities, but
obviously this has nothing to do
with palmistry
Small Hands and Birth"
1t has never been really proved
that persons CT wha- is called good
birth" have smaller hands and feet
than persons of Glow birth" al
though it is often assumed that they
have. And it has never been shown
why small hands and feet should
go with good BIRTH" supposing
that they do so, or why some people
have large and some small extremi-
ties. The possible effect of certain
manual occupations in enlarging the
hands of an individual is, OF. course,
excluded, the question raised is as

Palmistry is a development OF
ancient methods Of sO-calied divina-
ton.
Divination is that branch of magic
which attempts to discover secrets
or to foresee events, while magic in
general is an attempt to influence
the course of events. Divination is
the process of attempting to obtain
knowledge of secret or future
things by means of oracles, Omens,
or astrology. One of its methods is
"necromancy." the supposed COM
municatiOn with the spirits of the
dead. This word is formed from the
Greek nekrOs, a corpse, and man
teia, divination; but in Latin it was
enormously written "nigromantia,"
and so gave rise 10 the application
OF the name of the black art to
sorcery and witchcraft in general
By the ancients all Omens, as well
as oracles, were regarded as sent by
the gods, and the orthodox belief
has always been either that the
soothsayer is directly c ntrolled by
a god or a spirit, or, on the other
hand, that the material objects in
spected and regarded as signs OF
the future are controlled by the
gods or by spirits, so as to afford
Information. Divination is, and. has
been. practised IN all grades of
