In 1834 he was articled to a solicitor in Bury St. Edmunds, but the uncongenial and sedentary employment soon broke down his health. For two years he worked hard in preparing for the army, but, by a singular conjunction of circumstances and at the sacrifice of his own natural bent to his father's wish, he matriculated at Brasenose College, Oxford, just two weeks before his commission was put into his hands. He was at this time a moderate Calvinist in doctrine, and enthusiastically evangelical. Ordained in July 1840 by the bishop of Winchester, he at once entered on ministerial work in that city. Early in 1842, he accepted a curacy in Cheltenham, which he retained for upwards of four years. After doing duty for two months at St. Ebbe's, Oxford, he entered in 1847 on his famous ministry at Trinity Chapel, Brighton. Robertson's published works include five volumes of sermons, two volumes of expository lectures, on Genesis and on the epistles to the Corinthians, a volume of miscellaneous addresses, and an Analysis of "In Memoriam.
