Is not an anagram of napoleon bonaparte.
The latter has three Ns and three Os. No, appear not at Elba has two Ns and two Os.
Hmmm...that's straight out the book...seems they should've used "on" instead of "at"...that's a pretty classic anagram, too.
15. Revolution
38. Sweetheart

Would be parishoners without the word I in I hire parsons. Is this another error, ONE?
Depends on how you want to spell
parishioners, TEd.
You know, I did start to look it up then figured what the heck.
First, let me say this is from "The Boys Own Book, a Complete Encyclopedia of All the Diversions, Athletic, Scientific, and Recreative, of Boyhood and Youth," publised in Boston in 1829. It was a very popular book in the 1800's and widely used in the schoolhouses then, as well. I remember we ran into some of these strange discrepancies the last time I put up a couple threads of word puzzles/riddles from it--rebusses, enigmas, charades, and conundrums. I guess they reproduced the book in all its authentic historical inaccuracies (but the Napoleon thing is weird).
(from TEd)
13. Parishioners (this is actually spelled with the extra "i" in the answer TEd, so perhaps the spelling
has changed and this is some etymological anachronism) Yay!
23. Festival...yay!
(from boronia)
2. Lawyers...yay!
4. Old England...yay!
(from FallibleFiend)
15. Revolution...yay!
38. Sweetheart...yay!
hint #2: 19 is a bit tricky, too, with an extra syllable not used much today.
Numbers solved: 1, 2, 4, 10, 13, 15, 23, 32, 33, 38
I want it to be opposition, but there's an extra T!
is parishioner, but I fail to see the connection to hire a prison.
Presbyterian. Hey, these are starting to get easy once I let my mind just go loose a bit.
(from TEd)
12. close!...but no cigar! nay!
(remember to frame your answers separately as there may be an additional definite article or some other word as part of the solution
)
yay! to all of these!

25. Sovereignty
27. James Stuart (surprised anybody got this one--good work, TEd!)
36. Miniature
37. Parishioner

8. Charades... yay!
Numbers solved: 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 13, 15, 16, 23, 25, 27, 32, 33, 36, 37, 38
Anagrams to phonate, which I had to look up in dictionary, but I am betting phonate is not the answer, since there's no connection I can think of to a hot pen.
Actually, when you look at the letterys, it's not that difficult. J is almost always going to be the first letter, so I just put J down and then looked for letters that went with it. Once James came down, the remaining letters were a snap.
I did something similar in my mind with the b and the y in presbyterian.
#29 is prolly the toughest one here, TEd.
11. moon starers? an storm rose? nay
(the former on this is a strong step in the right direction, though, dody
...and TEd finished off 8 and 25)
Oh Hell!
Top PositionOh, hell no!
(go back and read my response to this in the other post, TEd, I can't give ya any more than that)

#81. Love 'tis no unfair race.(
Last time Whitman you accused me of leaving letters out so this time, at great expense, I color-coded the letters to be sure. Actually this version is better...On love: is an unfair race. but that would leave a "T" out and we don't want to leave a "T" out, now do we Whitman? )_____

I call many sot, you see. I am a health food nut. I eat soy crisps for breakfast, soy leaf salad for lunch, and tofu for supper. I am obsessed about soy. And I am very worried about people who drink anything other than soy sauce with meals. I do call many "sot" because I eat what they eat not. Therefore I am a:
"Soy Claimant."
You see, Juan? I am in misery. I sit here with my stupid combinations and try to talk myself into submitting them as possible answers--and I should have been in bed an hour ago because it's a school night.
Thanks a lot!

Was answered Friday -- pedagogues
This is groping around for straws, and I'm not even certain it's a word --monastically????
monastic ally???
If this isn't it, I won';t be surprised, but I also won't do another lick of work on it. Makes my brain HURT!
dissemination
This was really tough. I kept trying to see admission or mission which are both logical from the clue words. I finally just used the old way of starting with the head of the alphabet and doing it by elimination. UGH!
If I use my full name of Alexander, I can create some anagrams, such as Animal lair, lewd sex and Waxen Dr: ill? malaise?, and if I use all three of my names I can arrive at Alias Dr. Nina Bier Maxwell
Again, I don't know if this is the right answer, but "Veto. Un corse la finira." anagrams to "Urania's reflection". The hint about mirror mirror on the wall gave me reflection(s) and Urania is the only word I can get from the remaining letters.
Who is Arthur Wellesley? There was a Richard Wellesley who was the first Marquis of Wellesley, but Arthur?
Edited:
I shoulda googled first! The Duke of Wellington!!!!!!!!!!
Horatio Nelson. I darned near missed the clue of the odd capitalized word.

18. Veto. Un corse la finira. (time to offer some more straightforward hints on some of these...I thought I was going to have to say "historical figures" for the two you just solved, TEd! Good going. Also apply that to #9.
"Mirror, Mirror" was just a joking repartée to milum's post...sorry, TEd...here's the hint for #18...historical milestone in another language)

#18 Veto. Un corse la finira translates from the Italian as...

I am Charles Stuart's, claims Arthur's seat
(I think maybe we're all getting a little punch-drunk)
What I don't get, Milum, is why you spell humor humour.
COMICAL TRADE + R ==>A CALM CREDITOR
____Yeah me neither.____
Nor I... (get it? no "R". Hardee har har har (cracking-up-myself-emoticon)
re;What I don't get, Milum, is why you spell humor humour.
it could be an affectation, or just because he is in the spirit of the anagrams, or maybe, just i spell grey (correctly, our friends of pond pointed out) and not gray -- (and actually i use both) it might just be something Mr.M does just because he does.
Mind you, i think spelling is hard enough with out extra letters, and would be pleased with fewer, not more letters, 'nuf said!
What I don't get, Milum, is why you spell humor humour. -
annastrophicI spell humor
humour anna in order to suck up to the British. It might come in handy. There's a move afoot to make England the 51st state.
Moving right along...
O POISON PITTis a rather recent construction. The answer is...
POT IS OPTION( Note the poor use of articles)
Point is: comical trade does not equal: "a calm creditor" since there's one too many "r's" in "a calm creditor," as was pointed out above.
However, the little-known trade:
lamioccarted
would be a solution, but this particular comical trade is so little-known, that it ain't in a single dictionary.
So, back to the drawing board...
POT IS OPTION?
not when you are in the
Top Position ! (wasn't one the Pitt's a PM then?)
Of course they didn't have Wiley Willie's option of not inhaling, back then! but i think the drug of choice then was opium.
