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.

(from Boronia) 24. Solemnity...yay! (from TEd) 22. Magnetical...not quite, TEd...nay (hint: a real mystery!) 26. Pedagogues (right-o, TED...you solved this Friday, just forgot to strike the number...) 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) yay! to all of the following! 7. Horatio Nelson 30. Monastically 34. Arthur Wellesley 35. Dissemination (Hard to believe this book was designed for young grammar school kids in it's day...there was also a "Girl's Own Book"...are we becoming less literate?) Numbers remaining unsolved: 6,9,12,18,19,22
