Not to encourage a silly craze, but to enlighten those who may be curious on the subject, we insert the subjoined illustration and remarks. Line of Life.-This was supposed to signify the quality and course of life. If it was long, clear, and entire a long period of good fortune was predicted; if gross and red a proud cruel nature was indicated. Lines from the Mount of Venus intersecting the line of life indicated unhappy love, &c. Table Line. This line-large and clear-denoted long life, liberality, and cordial magnanimity. If it ended in the Mount of Jupiter a vain and lying person was indicated, and if branches ran from it to the fore and middle finger misfortunes might be anticipated. Middle Natural Line.-This was the line of health, or if imperfect in character it signified sickness and poverty. If broad, it signified many years with poverty at the close, and if double, legacies might be expected at middle age. Line of the Liver.-A straight but not distinct line denoted health and great memory, but instability of purpose; and if crooked, sickness and shortness of life were to be anticipated. A cross at one of the extremities indicated death. The Thumb was called the finger of Venus because of its connection with the Mount of Venus, which was at its base. The joints were apportioned to indications in regard to the wil', judgment, and love affairs. Sister of the Line of Life LINE OF LIFE Assassination LINE OF THE LIVER Killed *** ** Victory Sickness Malady of Mind +Cowardice N النا MILKY for Honour WAY Percussion WRIST LINE Mount of Jupiter (first finger).-Persons of a jovial character were known by the plurality of lines on the mount of Jupiter. These were wise, bold and religious, delighting in doing good deeds, loving good and hating evil, and specially fond of children. The Fingers. The index finger was consecrated to Jupiter, and if smooth and wellproportioned denoted good nature and honesty of purpose. The middle finger was appropriated to Saturn, and was supposed to indicate whether a violent and shameful death might be looked for; the annular or ring finger was devoted to Apollo, and indicated the prospects in regard to worldly possessions, whilst the little finger, which was consecrated to Mercury, showed whether the possessor was clever in the arts and sciences, quick to learn languages, &c. Mount of Saturn (second finger).-The Saturnine line started from the wrist and extended through the hand to the mount of Saturn. If any of the usual characteristics of good were discernible in this space the person was credited with being serious in mind and timorous in action, miserly and grasping, and likely to live to an old age. Where the lines were broken and abrupt or with semi-circles intervening, the person was deemed proud, conceited, and self-willed, unsociable and ungrateful, and likely to attain a desired end without scruple as to the means. Hands.-Short fat hands were supposed to indicate hasty judgments without proper consideration. Long thin hands, capacity for detail. Soft hands indicated laziness (naturally, hard hands showed strength of purpose and determination. Smooth hands meant sensitiveness and impressionability. The lower part of the fingers and thumb were called mounts, and the indications of these were as follows: Mount of Venus (the thumb).-Love of ease and idleness, lavishness in expenditure, fondness for women, mirth and music. Persons with three lines under the thumb pointing to the index were supposed to be likely to meet with good fortune in worldly affairs. Mount of Apollo (third finger.-A special development of this mount indicated great inventive powers. Such persons were regarded as self-reliant, having few friends, but, on the contrary, many enemies, notwithstanding which they were likely to make much money; faithful in their trust and generous to their enemies. Mount of Mercury (little finger).-Dark obscure lines on this mount and on the little finger indicated an untruthful person, thievish and treacherous in disposition, with an inclination to meddle in other folks' business. Clear and fair lines indicated eloquence, ingenuity, musical ability, and so on. Such were likely, under some circumstances, to secure great wealth; in others to meet with a violent death through disappointment and melancholy. |
