Sir William Roberts. 71 



Sir Williajn Roberta's record of work shows well what a busy 

 physician can do in the way of accurate work in the scanty leisure 

 afforded him in the intervals of practice, and all his work, whether 

 chemical or histological, was characterised by the same scrupulous 

 accuracy and neatness. It is probable that few, if any, of his statements 

 of fact will require emendation, although doubtless some of the views 

 founded on them may alter, and indeed have altered, with the lapse of 

 years. 



Sir William Roberts married in 1869 Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. 

 Richard Johnson. This lady died in 1874, leaving as issue one son, 

 who died in 1893. Sir William Roberts suffered severely from 

 influenza in 1897, and in the autumn of 1898 symptoms of a more 

 serious illness appeared, and the malady proved fatal on April 16, 1899. 

 Sir William Roberts was buried at Llanymawddwy, Merionethshire, 

 the village near his country residence, Bryn.
