Rogers, Rev. Charles.
LEAVES FROM MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
pp. vi, 376, 42 [Publisher's catalogue] + Plus 4 MOUNTED PHOTOGRAPHS. Numerous XLib stamps. Large 8vo. Original full purple cloth binding. Gilt lettered spine. Hardbound. Scarce. Charles Rogers (1825-1890) was a Scottish minister and author. He was chaplain of the garrison at historic Stirling Castle (1855-1863). He inaugurated (in 1855) at Stirling a short-lived Scottish Literary Institute. In 1862 he opened the British Christian Institute, for the dissemination of religious tracts, especially to soldiers and sailors, and in connection with it he issued a weekly paper, called `The Workman's Friend,' and afterwards monthly serials, `The Briton' and `The Recorder;' but the scheme collapsed in 1863. In 1863 he founded and edited a newspaper, `The Stirling Gazette,' but its career was brief. These schemes involved Rogers in much contention and litigation, and he imagined himself the victim of misrepresentation and persecution. To escape his calumniators he resigned his chaplaincy in 1863, went to England, and thenceforth devoted himself to literary work. His literary efforts in London were journalistic, but Scottish history, literature, and genealogy were throughout his life the chief studies of his leisure, and his researches in these subjects, to which he mainly devoted his later years, proved of value. He originated in London a short-lived Naval and Military Tract Society, as a successor to his British Christian Institute, and in connection with it he edited a quarterly periodical called `The British Bulwark.' When that society's existence terminated, he set up `The London Book and Tract Depository,' which he carried on until 1874. A more interesting and sucessful venture was Rogers's Grampian Club (1868), for the issue of works illustrative of Scottish literature, history, and antiquities. ENGLAND BOX 1
