To converse on Astrology with him, even if only for one short hour, was inevitably to gain something new and valuable in the way of experience and information." - Dorothy Ryan In this Memorial Edition, Obituaries by Charles Carter and George H.
I really believe he knew something about everything, but so far as Astrology was concerned his versatility showed forth in a phenomenal knowledge of his subject.

He will be remembered best by his two chief books, A Student\'s Text-Book of Astrology and The Fixed Stars and Constellations in Astrology.
Indeed, his knowledge, not only of Astrology but of many other sciences, was phenomenal; and few who enjoyed his conversation could fail to go away with an enhanced knowledge of whatever subject had been under discussion.

The result is one of the most comprehensive Astrology books ever written.
For each, Robson gives specific rules of judgment and then supplies aphorisms collected from many ancient sources.
Topics include Personal Appearance, Character and Mind, Health and Accidents, Finance, Occupation, and much more.

To this day, he is virtually the only man to have ever undertaken a study of this magnitude.
In it, he put the distillation of four years intense work, spent in the British Museum Reading Room, where he studied very nearly every Astrology book ever written, in English and Latin.
