Born in August, 1860; went to Dulwich College, and entered St Thomas's Hospital in 1879. He won brilliant distinctions at the London University, also at football for his Hospital. He held many minor appointments, including that of Surgical Registrar, Demonstrator of Anatomy, and Resident Assistant Surgeon, until he was elected Assistant Surgeon to St Thomas's Hospital in 1893. He was most successful as a teacher over surgical out-patients, also as a teacher of operative surgery. A loyal character, full of humour, kindliness, and decision, few could excel him. For some years he was Surgeon in Charge of the Throat Department; for a time he lectured on anatomy, the last member of the surgical staff to do so; later he lectured on surgery. In 1892, as Hunterian Professor of Surgery and Pathology, he lectured on "Certain Diseases of the Breast" at the Royal College of Surgeons, his lecture being a mine of information. He was Examiner in Surgery at the Universities of London and Manchester. For twenty-five years he was a Member of Council of the Metropolitan Counties Branch of the British Medical Association, and latterly its Treasurer and the representative of the Branch on the Council of the Association. The Cheselden Masonic Lodge at St Thomas's Hospital was another outlet for his surplus energies, and he was Master of the Lodge at the time of his death. Besides his work at St Thomas's, he was Surgeon to the East London Hospital for Children, Shadwell, and to St Mary's Hospital, Plaistow. At the outbreak of war he became Major RAMC (T) attached to the 2nd London General Hospital, and in 1915, when St Thomas's became the 5th London General Hospital, he was in charge of military beds. Further, upon the opening of King George Military Hospital he was appointed one of the Surgeons. Thus for three years he worked incessantly at three military hospitals as well as at civil ones. Renal disease supervened upon what had appeared to all the stoutest of constitutions. Energies which had never flagged began to yield, and he died on July 31st, 1918. He had practised at 1 Upper Wimpole Street. He was survived by his widow and a son. Publications:- Robinson published a number of cases in surgery in the *Brit Med Jour* and *Lancet*.
