Indian Palmistry

By J. B. Mrs. Dale

Palmistry, chiromancy, or palm reading is practiced worldwide with roots in Indian astrology and gypsy fortune-telling. The goal is to assess a person's character and elements of their life by examining the palm of their hand. This invaluable booklet on Indian palmistry describes everything in simple and easy words with symbols, marks, and illustrations concerning the placement of planets and their respective mounts. The author of this work does not claim that there is anything new in this work, but the way of translating, setting, and presenting the information is original. It's a helpful book for beginners or those curious about palmistry.

He says (p. 19): Various data have been assigned to the period of Buddha's existence.
