BEN JONSON'S VERSES ON THE MARRIAGE OF THE EARL OF SOMERSET. The British Museum purchased for 14_l._ the copy of the 1640 edition of Ben Jonson's _Works_, which was sold by Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson, in the library of the Honorable Archibald Fraser of Lovat. The volume, which had on its exterior covers the arms of Carr, Earl of Somerset, contains on one of them the following inscription:--"These verses were made by the author of this booke, and were delivered to the Earl of Somerset upon his Lordship's wedding-day." Then follow the verses in the poet's own handwriting. "_To the Most Noble and above his Titles Robert Earle of Somerset._
