Side Pocket Series: A Guide to Palmistry with Supplement

By Eliza Easter Henderson. Cambridge, MA: Published by the author, 1897. 3.5” x 6.5”and 132 pages plus 41 page supplement, first edition. Very good: white cloth faintly soiled and head of spine bumped, interior quite crisp and tightly bound.

An attractive little Victorian-era book, cover ornately stamped in silver, floral gilt endpapers. With a frontis. and multiple line drawings. Covers the classification of types of hands and all the various lines and features well known to practitioners of the art. The supplement covers “outside reading,” extra lines, additional hand types, etc. The author was both a palm reader and a phrenologist. An excellent 19th century guide, well written and undoubtedly pretty!
