The title page of the Ancient Science of Numbers by Luo Clement

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.[1][2][3] It is one of the earliest books on numerology ever published in the United States.[4] Some believe that “Luo Clement” is just an alias of the famous market forecaster W. D. Gann.[5]

The number system

The book explains that each of the 26 English letters has a numerical value, and these letters give rise to names that give out different vibrations.[1] If the vibration of the name matches the birthday of the person, it will bring the person good luck, or vice versa. 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 vibration 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.
