Transcript	20 ROME. sheltered road so exhausted the majority that we were completely knocked up with our match against time. However, we had a few minutes to spare before the train arrived, and got tolerably cool before reaching Rome. And now we give our promised sketch of Mr. Rogers's studio. This American sculptor is one of the most talented, and certainly one of the most successful of his countrymen in the branch of art he has chosen. All the greatest works raised to perpetuate the memories of the presidents, statesmen, and warriors of his country have been entrusted to him for execution, and in many respects they have been nobly carried out. The models of most of these, of colossal size, are in his studio, also many other finished works in marble, which are very beautiful—one especially of Nydia, the blind girl of Pompeii. This most successful statue has brought to the sculptor thousands of dollars, and to him, what is perhaps of more value, the recognition of his talents.
