He was the Vicar of Hendon for sixty-three years. As a young man he collected a magnificent library which he had sumptuously bound. The majority of his collection were bound by Charles Lewis or John Clarke often in the style of 17th century fine binding. His library was sold at auction in London in 1827. He lived almost another 50 years post-sale. An uncommon example of a cured bilbiomaniac - an example to which I cannot relate!<br /> <br /> ABOUT BEN JOHNSON <br /> <br /> Benjamin Jonson June 1572 – August 1637 was an English poet and playwright. Jonson's artistry exerted a lasting influence on English poetry and stage comedy. He popularized the comedy of humors. He is best known for the satirical plays Every Man in His Humour 1598 Volpone or The Fox c. 1606 The Alchemist 1610 and Bartholomew Fair 1614 and for his lyric and epigrammatic poetry. He is regarded by most modern scholars as the second most important English dramatist after William Shakespeare during the reign of James I.<br /> <p>Jonson was a classically educated well-read and cultured man of the English Renaissance with an appetite for controversy personal and political artistic and intellectual. His cultural influence was of unparalleled breadth upon the playwrights and the poets of the Jacobean era 1603–1625 and of the Caroline era 1625–1642.<br /> <br /> In 1616 Jonson received a yearly pension of 100 marks about £60 leading some to identify him as England's first Poet Laureate although the royal family never formally granted him the title.<br /> <br /> There are many legends about Jonson's rivalry with Shakespeare. Thomas Fuller relates stories of Jonson and Shakespeare engaging in debates at the Mermaid Tavern. That the two men knew each other personally is beyond doubt not only because of the tone of Jonson's references to him but because Shakespeare's company produced a number of Jonson's plays at least two of which Every Man in His Humour and Sejanus His Fall Shakespeare certainly acted in. Jonson's most influential and revealing commentary on Shakespeare is the second of the two poems that he contributed to the prefatory verse that opens Shakespeare's First Folio. This poem "To the Memory of My Beloved the Author Mr. William Shakespeare and What He Hath Left Us" did a good deal to create the traditional view of Shakespeare as a poet who despite "small Latine and lesse Greeke"60 had a natural genius. The poem has traditionally been thought to exemplify the contrast which Jonson perceived between himself the disciplined and erudite classicist scornful of ignorance and skeptical of the masses and Shakespeare represented in the poem as a kind of natural wonder whose genius was not subject to any rules except those of the audiences for which he wrote.</p> .

Many people including potential investors who have heard of securitisation but not experienced it are put off by its complexity. Undoubtedly the transactions are complicated and demanding but the objective of this book is to remove some of the mystery from the process. It has been written with the aim of providing a better understanding of what securitisation can provide and what it means on a practical basis. The book commences with an overview of the development of securitisation to date. An analysis of legal and tax aspects follows to enable readers to understand the manner in which legal theory and commercial objectives can be reconciled. Three chapters then discuss from the perspective of different types of lenders how securitisation can help. After a review by a merchant banker of the market the rating agencies explain their approach to asset-backed debt. An insurance company and a professional trustee then explain their separate views of securitisation followed by a discussion of various current issues which are being hotly debated in the United Kingdom. The accounting treatment of securitisation is then analysed before the securitisation of non-mortgage assets is discussed. The penultimate chapter considers securitisation in France and its new legal regime before the final chapter discusses the pressures and trends which are likely to develop in international financial markets in the coming months and years. The appendices contain a summary of all public UK transactions to date the Bank of England's paper on loan transfers and securitisation reproduced with their kind permission and the Statement of Practice on transfers of mortgages issued by the United Kingdom Department of Environment reproduced with their kind permission.
