So much has heretofore been said about the thumbbeing an important factor in delineating character thatI will now only draw your attention to the position ofthe thumb in Figure 9, the fingers closing down tightover it, which the criminal unconsciously does as heattempts by his actions and testimony to conceal hisguilt. Plate XXIX. PLATE XXVII. CHAPTER XXVI. THE AUTHORS METHOD OP READING THE HAND. First. Study the back of the hand closely—its shape;the color and texture of the epidermis; the shapeand length of the fingers; the texture, shape andcolor of the nails. Second. Note carefully the position of the mainlines; the size and location of the mounts. Third. The length and development of the phalangescannot be given too much attention. Fourth. Study carefully the position of the small linesand the signs on the palm. Be careful not to con-fuse the relation they bear to rest of the hand. Fifth. After you have carefully studied the hand tellthe subject just what you see. Begin with a di-agnosis of his physical condition; tell his inheritedand contracted weaknesses, physical, mental andmoral; advise him how to better his condition. 198
