TRANSPOSITIONS.
Transpositions differ from Anagrams only in the fact that the letters from the word or words selected are not formed into a sentence or other words. For example:—
A Book and its Author.—Trdhsedstotevlfwinalohrchtiyehocfutoeeeeo by Eascepink tap.—which being interpreted reads, What led to the Discovery of the Source of the Nile, by Captain Speke.
An Author and his Works.

| Acdddeefiilopprv | David Copperfield. |
| Acceehiikppprstwk | The Pickwick Papers. |
| Cdehhiiloooprssttuy | The Old Curiosity Shop. |
A more interesting form of this puzzle is now shown, in the shape of well-known proverbs changed into other sentences.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Strong lion's share almost gone.
