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.

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

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.
