h of an unperfected and fragmentary character)
so penetrating and powerful an influence on the spiritual
tendencies of the times, we can well believe that no biography
since Arnold's will presently be possible to be compared with
this, for the interest excited by it in the minds of readers who
consciously live in the presence of the invisible and eternal, who
feel the pressure of difficult questions and painful experiences,
and who seek reality and depth, and freedom in the life and
activity of the Church of Christ.... Mr. Brooke has produced a
'Life of Robertson' which will not unworthily compare with Dean
Stanley's 'Life of Arnold,' and which, with that, and Ryland's
'Life of Foster,' and the 'Life of Channing,' is likely to be
prized as one of the most precious records of genuine manly and
godly excellence."

[THE MORNING STAR.]

"The beautiful work which Mr. Brooke has written contains few, if
any, romantic episodes. It is the life of a man who worked hard
and died early.... Mr. Brooke has acted wisely in allowing Mr.
Robertson to speak so fully for himself, and in blending his
letters with his narrative, and arranging them in chronological
order. These letters are in themselves a mine of intellectual
wealth. They contain little of table-talk or parlour gossip: but
they abound with many of his best and most ripened thoughts on
multitudes of subjects, political, literary, and scientific, as
well as theological. We wish we could present our readers with
extracts from them; but even if we had space, it would be unfair
to the writer to quote disjointed fragments from a correspondence
which now belongs to the literature of the country.... Mr. Brooke
has performed his responsible task as a biographer and an editor
in a spirit of just and discriminating appreciation, and with
admirable ability."
