_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 "pallace?"

_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. page
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 Star of the North, shining upon the victorious King of Sweden_,
&c. 4to. London, 1632.

_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 _savegard_, and of the _russells quilt_.

_Pandoxare_.--Having met with an old volume containing the entire
household expenses, as well as in some degree a diary, kept by a country
gentleman 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.
