_Portrait of John Rogers, the Proto-Martyr._--Should you think the
following minor Note interesting to your correspondent KT., perhaps you
will find a corner for it in your miscellany.
Living some time ago on the picturesque coast of Dorsetshire, I had the
good fortune to have for a neighbour a lady of cultivated taste and
literary acquirements; among other specimens of antiquity and art to which
she drew my attention, was a portrait, in oil, of John Rogers; it was of
the size called "Kit Cat," and was well painted. This portrait she held in
great veneration and esteem, declaring herself to be (if my memory does not
deceive me) a descendant of this champion of Christianity, whose name
stands on the "muster roll" of the "noble army of martyrs."
In case KT. should wish to push his inquiries in this quarter, I inclose
you the name and address of the lady above alluded to.
