Palmistry for All

Palmistry for All is Cheiro's own popular primary statement of his palmistry system, and this record describes it plainly as that rather than as independent verification: it is the tradition's own account of what Cheiro himself taught, cited here as evidence of what this specific popular system asserts, not as proof that palm reading actually reveals character or predicts fate. Its documented significance is that it is the book through which most of the palmistry still popularly practiced in English actually descends, a real point of influence on later practitioner literature rather than a claim about accuracy. Use it for the content of Cheiro's own system as he presented it to a general readership; it is not evidence that palmistry works, a claim this primary source does not itself attempt to establish.

Notes
Primary text. The popular English statement of the French system, and the book through which most later palmistry descends. Cited as evidence of what the tradition says about itself.
