Educated at Bedford School, and entered St Bartholomew's Hospital on October 1st, 1884, where he gained in succession the Junior Scholarship, the Senior Scholarship, the Kirkes Scholarship and Gold Medal for Clinical Medicine, and the Brackenbury Scholarship in Surgery. His career at the University of London was equally brilliant. At St Bartholomew's Hospital he served the offices of House Surgeon, House Physician, Resident Midwifery Assistant, Casualty Physician, Assistant Demonstrator of Anatomy, Demonstrator of Practical Midwifery and Diseases of Women, and temporary Physician-Accoucheur, the last post being held under the inspiring influence of Dr Matthews Duncan. As there was no immediate prospect of a vacancy at St Bartholomew's Hospital, Roberts attached himself to Queen Charlotte's Lying-in Hospital and to the Samaritan Free Hospital, where he attracted large classes by his powers of teaching both by lectures and at the bedside. During the European War he performed useful and arduous work as accoucheur to Lady Howard de Walden's Maternity Home for Officers' Wives and also as a member of the Visiting Staff of the Epsom War Hospital. He was Secretary and Vice-President of the Section of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the Royal Society of Medicine, and was Secretary of a similar section at the Sheffield Meeting of the British Medical Association in 1908. As an Examiner he was a member of the Midwives Board, of the Conjoint Examining Board RCP Lond and RCS Eng, and of the Sheffield University. He died of influenza in Denmark in January, 1929, having been landed from a ship in which he was making a pleasure cruise. Roberts was a great teacher of students, an able diagnostician, and a highly skilled obstetrician who by force of circumstances never gained the position to which his mental attainments justly entitled him. He practised at 48 Harley Street, and had a country house, The Riverside, Taplow, Bucks. Publications: *Outlines of Gynaecological Pathology and Morbid Anatomy*, 8vo, London, 1901.
