The Ancient Science of Numbers
The ancient science of numbers: the practical application of its principles in the attainment of health, success, and happiness is a 1908 book by Luo Clement. It is one of the earliest books on numerology ever published in the United States.[1][not in citation given] Some believe that "Luo Clement" is just an alias of the famous market forecaster W. D. Gann.[2][3]
The number system[edit]
The book assigns each of the 26 English letters a numerical value. The numbering system is tabulated as below:
| Cornerstone | Keystone | Capstone | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cornerstone | 1 | A | 10 | J | 100 | S |
| 2 | B | 20 | K | 200 | T | |
| 3 | C | 30 | L | 300 | U | |
| Keystone | 4 | D | 40 | M | 400 | V |
| 5 | E | 50 | N | 500 | W | |
| 6 | F | 60 | O | 600 | X | |
| Capstone | 7 | G | 70 | P | 700 | Y |
| 8 | H | 80 | Q | 800 | Z | |
| 9 | I | 90 | R | |||
Clement only considers the first name of the person. Take the name ANNA as an example, it has 4 letters: A, N, N, and A, then its value is calculated as follows:
- A = 1
- N = 50
- ANNA = 1 + 50 + 50 + 1 = 102 = 1 + 0 + 2 = 3
The next step is to find the numbers which are compatible with 3. According to Clement, the numbers are organised in three triads as below:
- 1, 5, 7 (or 10, 50, 70; or 100, 500, 700)
- 2, 4, 8 (or 20, 40, 80; or 200, 400, 800)
- 3, 6, 9 (or 30, 60, 90; or 300, 600)
So, if a girl was born on the sixth or ninth day of a month, “Anna” will be a compatible name for her.
