He will be visiting the Library to talk about his book some time in November - the date and time will be announced later. ANAGRAMS - AT LAST! The earliest known written use of the word "scrabble" is in the First Book of Samuel in Thomas Matthews' 1537 Bible, relating how David feigned madness and "scrabled on the dores of the gate." It meant "scrawl" or "scribble" and still had that meaning three centuries later when Admiral W.H. Smyth, in his "Sailor's Word Book," defined the noun scrabble as "a badly written log." During the 1930's, when things were slow, architect Alfred Mosher Butts made scrabbling a game, in which players formed words from sets of mixed-up letters. In 1948, these letters - jumbled were granted letters - patent, and Scrabble went on to become one of the most popular word games ever. Did Mr. Butts, who died not long ago at 93, ever realise that the letters of his name could be re-arranged to form "rash of dumb letters." This kind of almost uncanny congruence makes one wonder whether there is something more to anagrams than coincidence. Forming anagrams of famous names became a fad in the 19th century, for instance: 1. William Shakespeare becomes "We all make his praise"; 2. Arthur Wellesley (Duke of Wellington) becomes "Truly he'll see war"; 3. Disraeli becomes "I lead, sir"; 4. Florence Nightingale becomes "Flit on, cheering angel." ....../4
