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?)
