devotion of the people."

Mosheim, and Merle D'Aubigne, and probably any other historian of the
Reformation in Germany, may be cited as witnesses for the notorious fact,
that Carlstadt excited the citizens of Wittemberg to break the images in
their churches when Luther was concealed in the Castle of Wartburg, and
that he rebuked and checked these proceedings on his return. See Mosheim,
as cited before, or D'Aubigne, book IX. ch. vii. and viii.

_Rev. Urban Vigors_ (Vol. viii., p. 340.).--My great-great-grandmother was
a sister of Bishop Vigors, who was consecrated to the see of Leighlin and
Ferns, March 8, 1690. He, I know, was a near relative of the Rev. Urban
Vigors. An Urban Vigors of Ballycormack, co. Wexford, also married my
great-great-aunt, a Miss Thomas, sister of Vigors Thomas, Esq., of
Limerick. I should, equally with your correspondent Y. S. M., wish to know
any particulars of the "Vigors" family; and should be delighted to enter
into correspondence with him.

_Portrait of Baretti_ (Vol. VIII., p. 411.).--In reply to MR. G. R.
CORNER'S Query regarding Sir Joshua Reynolds' picture of Baretti, I can
give him the information he requires.

This very interesting portrait is now at my brother's, Holland House,
Kensington.

My late father, Lord Holland, had a pretty picture of the late Lord
Hertford's mother (I believe), or some near relation of his. Not being
connected with that family, my father offered it to Lord Hertford, leaving
it to his lordship to give him such picture as he might choose in exchange.
Some time afterwards this portrait of Baretti was sent, and was much prized
and admired. It represents Baretti reading a small book, which he holds
close to his face with both hands; he is in a white coat, and the whole
carries with it a certainty of resemblance. This occurred about twenty-five
years ago. Perhaps it may interest your readers to learn that our
distinguished {478} painter, Watts, painted for my brother, Lord Holland, a
portrait of another distinguished Italian, Mr. Panizzi, and pendant to the
former. He is represented leaning forward and writing, and the likeness is
very striking.

Sophocles:
