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 Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Entire Thread Subject Posted By Posted Anagrams WhitmanO'Neill 09/27/02 04:46 AM Re: Anagrams Wordwind 09/27/02 08:50 AM Re: Anagrams dodyskin 09/27/02 10:39 AM Re: Anagrams WhitmanO'Neill 09/27/02 01:11 PM No, appear not at Elba.
