THE SCIENCE OF NUMBERS

It is in a similar manner that we arrive at the number of the NAME. In other words, we add the numbers of all the letters—these corresponding numbers being given in the First Table—and the number left, after the last possible addition has been made, is the mystic number of the name. Thus, supposing the name to be Edmund:

E D M U N D
5 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 5 + 4 = 25 = 2 + 5 = 7,

and 7 is the NAME NUMBER. Moreover, whatever the sum total of the name may make, the process to be followed is the same. Thus, if the value of the letters of the name should equal 57, the problem would stand:

5+7=12=1+2=3.

The NAME NUMBER of a name counting 57 would be 3.
