Self-reliance and much resolution. The individual is ambitious, active, mechani­cally inclined and a hard worker, more especially if the hand is hard as well as firm. It is a useful hand altogether, but not very delicate. It also indicates courage, capacity to op­pose, and its owner may he said to shine best under difficulties. People with this type of hand are fond of music, but musical instruments requiring mechanical skill are more to their taste than vocal music. They love a country for what that country gives them, hence they are likely to emigrate, provided their position is bettered thereby.
