About this number
The old books quarrel over this number more than most. Walton in 1914 called 2 kind, diplomatic and peace-loving, and Cheasley in 1916 made it the peacemaker who looks after the smallest detail. Sepharial's 1911 list, drawn up for name totals in an alphabet of his own, gives the same figure the words fatality and destruction. No single reading of 2 survives that comparison.
As a calendar date the 2nd is the plainest member of a family. Clement grouped 2, 11, 20 and 29 together as the Twos, and placed them in a set with the Fours and Eights that were thought to agree with one another. Here no tens digit sits behind the number, so nothing has been added or folded away.
