WILLIAM (1816-1853) , See also:English divine, known as Robertson of See also:Brighton, was See also:born in See also:London on the 3rd of See also:February 1816_ The first five years of his See also:life were passed at See also:Leith Fort, where his See also:father, a See also:captain in the Royal See also:Artillery, was then See also:resident. The military spirit entered into his See also:blood, and throughout life he was characterized by the; qualities of the ideal soldier. In 1821 Captain Robertson retired to See also:Beverley, where the boy was educated. At the See also:age of fourteen he spent a See also:year at See also:Tours, from which he returned to See also:Scotland, and continued his See also:education at the See also:Edinburgh See also:Academy. and university. In 1834 he was articled to a See also:solicitor in See also:Bury St See also:Edmunds, but the uncongenial and sedentary employment soon See also:broke down his See also:health. He was anxious for a military career, and his name was placed upon the See also:list
to return to See also:Cheltenham, but after doing See also:duty for two months at St Ebbe's,.See also:- OXFORD

church was thronged with thoughtful men of all classes in society and of all shades of religious belief. His See also:fine See also:appearance, his flexible and sympathetic See also:voice, his See also:manifest sincerity, the perfect lucidity and See also:artistic symmetry of his address, and the brilliance with which he illustrated his points would have attracted hearers even had he had little to say. But he had much to say, He was not, indeed, a scientific theologian; but his in-sight into the principles of the spiritutal life was unrivalled. As his biographer says, thousands found in his sermons " a living source of impulse, a See also:practical direction of thought, a See also:key to many of the problems of See also:theology, and above all a path to spiritual freedom." His closing years were full of sadness. His sensitive nature was subjected to extreme suffering, arising mainly from the opposition aroused by ' his sympathy with the revolutionary ideas of the 1848 See also:epoch. Moreover, he was crippled by incipient: disease of the See also:brain, which at first inflicted unconquerable lassitude and depression, and latterly agonizing See also:pain. On the 5th of See also:June 1853 he preached for the last See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.
