Square Hand & Its Subdivision

THE square hand denotes that the palm is square at the wrist, at the base of the fingers, and the fingers are square generally with short and square nails. This type of hand is also called a useful one, because it is found in so many walks of life.

People with such a hand are orderly, punctual, and precise in manner, not, however, from any innate grace of nature, but more from conformity with custom and habit. They respect authority, they love discipline, they have a place for everything and everything is kept in its place, not only in their households, but also in their brains. They respect law and order, and are slaves to custom; they are not quarrelsome, but are determined in opposition; they prefer reason to instinct, peace to war, and are methodical in work and in habit. They are endowed with great perseverance, are tenacious but not resigned; they are not enthusiastic over poetry or art, and win success in practical things. In religion they will not go to extremes; they prefer substance to show, and dogma to ideas. They are not adaptable to people, or versatile; they have little originality or imagination, but in work they have great application, force of character, strength of will, and often outdistance their more brilliant and talented rivals. They naturally love the exact sciences, and all practical study. They encourage agriculture and commerce; they love home and the duties of home, but are not demonstrative in affection. They are sincere and true in promises, staunch in friendship, strong in principle, and honest in business. Their greatest fault is that they are inclined to reason by a twelve-inch rule, and disbelieve all they cannot understand.
