Cheiro is the pseudonym of an aristocrat living in England who wishes to remain unnamed. He dedicated his life to research and gained extensive knowledge and experience in chirology (the art of palmistry) through his numerous travels. He primarily drew his knowledge from ancient Egyptian, Indian, and Tibetan sources, so studying his work conveys the accumulated wisdom of millennia in this field. There is probably no other chirologist who masters his subject so confidently and possesses the ability to convey his knowledge so clearly and understandably. Therefore, any student or follower of this science will find it very easy to draw diverse insights from this book. The science of chirology is an excellent means of self-knowledge and understanding others, a great aid for education, and a valuable support.
