Cheiro remains one of the most widely respected and studied figures in the world of futurology. His predictions were astounding and his accuracy amazing. For instance, no one believed his prediction that Prince of Wales would one day become King Edward VII of England and would die in his 69th year, yet history proved him right. The genius of Cheiro was startling to others as well. He told one Mrs. Leiter that her daughter would marry a man who would rule a country in the East; she married the Viceroy of India, Lord Curzon. Even sceptical Mark Twain was surprised with Cheiro’s readings. He visited the palmist incognito; the former did not know who the visitor was. Reading his hands Cheiro predicted that he would become a famous writer, and that his real name started with S; the author’s real name was Samuel S Clemens. Wrote Mark Twain after the visit, “Cheiro has exposed my character to me with humiliating accuracy. I thought that I would say nothing about his penetrating genius, but in the end I had to accept it.” He warned Oscar Wilde of his future disgrace; told Lord Russel that he would become the Chief Justice of England three years before he did so. Reading the palm of William Pirrie, chairman of Harland and Wolf, builders of the Titanic he predicted a major crisis with the ship. In this book the author shares his life experiences on how and where he learned Palmistry and his experiences of reading hands in England, America and Europe.

This is the complete and unabridged text of Cheiro's Language of the Hand which is regarded as the go-to Bible by both professional and amateur students of palmistry. Cheiro acquired his expertise in India. At a young age he travelled to the port of Apollo Bunder, Bombay, where he met his Guru, an Indian Chitpavan Brahmin, who took him to his village in the Konkans, where he was permitted to study the ancient books on hands and hand reading. After studying palmistry for over two years, he returned to England and started practicing palmistry in London. Soon he was enjoying a wide following of famous clients from around the world, including celebrities like Mark Twain, William Stead, Sarah Bernhardt, Mata Hari, Oscar Wilde, Thomas Edison, the Prince of Wales, General Kitchener, William Gladstone, and Joseph Chamberlain. So popular was Cheiro as palmist that even those who were non-believers had their hands read by him. Sceptical Mark Twain wrote in Cheiro's visitor's book that "he (Cheiro) has exposed my character to me with humiliating accuracy. I ought not confess this accuracy, still I am moved to do so." It is said that while reading the palm of the Chairman of the company that owned Titanic, Cheiro predicted the sinking of the famous ship. Cheiro wrote this book based on his lifetime practice and study of hands across England, Europe and America. In the book he writes, "I have endeavoured to place clearly and candidly before the intelligence of the reader the rules and the theories I have proved to be true, and from whose foundations I have built whatever success I have achieved."
