' ItOBERTSON, Frederick William, Eng lish clergyman: b. London, 3 Feb. 1816; d. Brighton, 15 Aug. 1853. He was ordained in 1840, and was graduated from Brasenose College, Oxford, in 1841; in that year he was made -curate of Christ Church, Cheltenham; and from 1847 until his death was pastor of Trinity Chapel, Brighton. His eloquence was remarkable, and- soon extended. his renown far beyond local limits. He was an eclectic in theology, and dared for no party in a time when the clergy were generally partisans. His frequent dissent
from various positions of the schools of thought• brought upon him numerous attacks, whose im portance he was wont to overestimate. His views were colored by study of the Germans, and de veloped considerably during the progress of his ministry. His mind was positive, original • and without fear; and his constant labor greatly affected his health. He was deeply interested in the workingman institute, which he founded at Brighton, and whose work he made very effective. His 'Sermons' (1855-90), though de rived from inadequate shorthand notes or from recollections prepared by himself; have been very widely read. His other important .work has been collected in his 'Literary Remains.' Consult the 'Life and Letters) by S. A. Brooke (1865).
