[BRIGHTON GAZETTE.]

"As an author, Mr. Robertson was, in his lifetime, unknown; for
with the exception of one or two addresses, he never published,
having a singular disinclination to bring his thoughts before the
public in the form of published sermons. As a minister, he was
beloved and esteemed for his unswerving fidelity to his principles
and his fearless propagation of his religious views. As a
townsman, he was held in the highest estimation; his hand and
voice being ever ready to do all in his power to advance the moral
and social position of the working man. It was not till after his
decease, which event created a sensation and demonstration such as
Brighton never before or since witnessed, that his works were
subjected to public criticism. It was then found that in the
comparatively retired minister of Trinity Chapel there had existed
a man possessed of consummate ability and intellect of the highest
order; that the sermons laid before his congregation were replete
with the subtleties of intellect, and bore evidence of the keenest
perception and most exalted catholicity. His teaching was of an
extremely liberal character, and if fair to assign a man possessed
of such a universality of sympathy to any party, we should say
that he belonged to what is denominated the 'Broad Church.' We,
with many others, cannot agree in the fullest extent of his
teaching, but, at the same time, feel bound to accord the tribute
due to his genius."

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]

"A volume of very excellent Sermons, by the late lamented
Incumbent of Trinity Chapel, Brighton."

[TITAN.]

"But the Sermons now under notice are, we venture to say, taking
all the circumstances into consideration, the most remarkable
discourses of the age.... They are throughout vital with the
rarest force, burning with an earnestness perhaps never surpassed,
and luminous with the light of genius.... We suspect that even
Brighton little knew what a man Providence had placed in its
midst."
