Discovery of the Circulation of the Blood. — 
There is a passage in Longinus (ch. xxii.), familiar 
perhaps to some of the readers of the “ Norges anp 
Queries,” which indicates that the fact of the 
circulation of the blood was well established in the 
days of Plato. The father of critics, to exemplify, 
and illustrate the use and value of ¢rope in 
writing, has garbled from the Timeus, a number 
of sentences descriptive of the anatomy of the 
human body, where the circulation of the blood is 
pointed at in terms singularly graphic. The exact 
extent of professional knowledge arrived at in the 
time of the great philosopher is by no means 
clearly defined: he speaks of the fact, however, 
not with a view to prove what was contested or 
chimerical, but avails himself of it to figure out 
the surpassing wisdom of the gods in constructing 
the human frame. Perhaps some of the readers of 
the ‘“ Norgs,” who are more thoroughly conversant 
with the subject, may think it worth while to 
inquire how much was known on that subject 
before Harvey wrote his Exercitationes Anatomice. 
The Proemium of that author seems hardly suffi- 
cient to satisfy the desire of every reader, who has 
looked with some eare to the passage in Longinus 
to which I have taken the liberty of calling public 
attention. aa. VV

The Meaning of “ Pallace.’ — A lease granted 
by the corporation of Totness in Devon, in the 
year 1703, demises premises by this description : 
* All that cellar and the chambers over the same, 
and the little pallace and landing-place adjoining 
to the river Dart.” Can your readers give an 
explanation of the term “ pailace?” J.R. Rocmrs. 
Did Oliver Cromwell write “* The New Star of 
the North?”—Perhaps some of your numerous 
correspondents, who have perused a curious letter 
of Count de Tessins, in Clements’ Bibliotheque 
Curieuse, tome ix. p.331., can inform me what 
credit, or if any, is due to the Count’s conjecture, 
that Oliver Cromwell was the author of the book 
entitled The New Stur of the North, shining upon 
the victorious King of Sweden, &c. 4to. London,

Meaning of Savegard and Russells.— In the 
will of Elizabeth Coddington, lady of the manor 
of Ixworth, 1571, mention is made of “the red 
russells quilt,” of “a felde bed,” and of “ my cloke 
and savegard of freseadon.” I shall be obliged by 
any description of the garment known as the save- 
gard, and of the russells quilt. Burrensis. 
Pandoxare. — Having met with an old volume 
containing the entire household expenses, as well 
as In some degree a diary, kept by a country gen- 
tleman during the reigns of James II., William 
and Mary, and Anne, I observed that he has made 
use of a species of hieroglyphics, to facilitate his 
reference to his book, as it contained all the entries 
of all kinds, in chronological order. For instance, 
where mention is made of money spent on behalf 
of one person in his house, he puts at the side of 
the page a clay pipe, rudely drawn; an entry of 
the payment of wages to another servant has a jug 
of ale; another a quill pen; another a couple of 
brooms, as the housemaid ; a fiddle for the dancing 
master for his daughter; payment made to the 
sexton or parish-clerk has a representation of the 
village church by its side, and the window-tax a 
small lattice-window ; and on the days that they 
brewed, a small barrel is drawn by the side of the 
date. And the chief object of my letter is with 
respect to this last; a barrel is often drawn, and 
by its side the words, primd relinitus, and the date, 
naturally meaning the day it was tapped; and 
then shortly after comes another barrel, and to 
it is written the word Pandoz., or sometimes in 
full Pandoxavimus ; in some places at the end of 
the year there is a list to this effect : — 
« (1705.) 
Memoranda, 
29. Mar. — Pandox*’, 
6. Apr. — relinit. 
28. Apr. —relinit. 
3. May.— Pandox®. 
17. May.— relinit. 
31. May. — relinit. 
5. Iun, — Pandox®. 
and at the top of the list the figure of a barrel. 
I should be glad if any of the readers of your 
paper could tell me the meaning of the word Pan- 
doxare? Whatever it was, it took place about 
once a month. H.B 
[ Ducange explains Pandozare “ Cauponam exercere, 
agere; cerevisiam venum exponere atque adeo confi- 
cere.” 
Lord Bacon's Metrical Version of the Psalms. — 
In old Izaak Walton’s Life of George Herbert, I 
find the following passage : — 
“ He (7. e. Lord Bacon) thought him so worthy of 
his friendship, that having translated many of the 
Prophet David’s Psalms into English verse, he made 
George Herbert his patron, by a public dedication of 
them to him, as the best judge of divine poetry.”
