_Ben Jonson's adopted Sons_ (Vol. v., pp. 537. 588.).--I had made some
Notes on this subject, but have never seen stated that their number was
limited to _twelve_. I have got _ten_ on _my_ list, but am unable at
present to give my authorities; but I can assure your INQUIRER, at p. 537.,
that their names are _honestly_ come by:
"Thomas Randolph, Richard Brome, William Cartwright, Sir Henry
Morrison, James Howell, Joseph Rutter, Robert Herrick, Lord Falkland,
Sir John Suckling, Shackerly Marmion."
