Robert Anderson was born
in Mountjoy Square, Dublin, Ireland. His father, Matthew
Anderson, was Crown Solicitor, a distinguished elder in
the Presbyterian Church of Ireland, and of Ulster Scots
descent. Matthew married Mary, daughter of Samuel Lee of
Derry. Robert described himself as "an anglicised
Irishman of Scottish extraction". His elder brother Sir
Samuel Lee Anderson was a successful barrister who
invariably acted for the Crown, and like his brother
also acted as an intelligence officer. Their sister
Annie married Sir Walter Boyd, 1st Baronet, a dominant
figure among the Irish judiciary in the late nineteenth
and early twentieth centuries, and a staunch upholder of
British rule in Ireland. Annie played a key role in her
brother's religious development.
On leaving school, Anderson began a business
apprenticeship in a large brewery, but after eighteen
months he decided not to go into business and left.
After studying in Boulogne-sur-Mer and Paris, he entered
Trinity College, Dublin, where he graduated Bachelor of
Arts in 1862, and in 1863 was called to the Irish Bar.
He received a Bachelor of Laws degree from Trinity
College in 1875.
Anderson began to practise as a barrister. However, in
1865 his father showed him papers relating to the trials
of Fenians and he too became involved in the operations
against them, becoming the foremost expert on them and
operations against them. In 1868, he was called to
London, following the murder of a policeman in
Manchester during a Fenian jailbreak in September 1867
(see Manchester Martyrs) and the bombing of Clerkenwell
Gaol in another rescue attempt three months later (see
Clerkenwell Outrage). In April 1868 he was attached to
the Home Office as adviser on political crime.
However, although Anderson remained in this post,
Fenianism became more or less dormant, and to justify
his salary he was appointed secretary to several
government inquiries. In 1877 he was appointed secretary
to the new Prison Commission. In the early 1880s,
however, the Fenians began operations again and in 1883
they commenced a bombing campaign in England. Anderson
was not particularly effective in combatting them, and
in May 1884 he was forced to resign his Home Office
post, to be replaced by Edward Jenkinson. In 1886, he
was also removed from the Prison Commission.
However, in 1887 Jenkinson resigned, and Anderson was
once again the only man available with experience in
anti-Fenian activities. He was asked to assist James
Monro, Assistant Commissioner (Crime) at Scotland Yard,
in operations related to political crime. In 1888, Monro
was promoted to Commissioner, and Anderson replaced him
as Assistant Commissioner, the post he was to hold for
the rest of his career.
The Criminal Investigation Department was then just
starting the investigation into the Jack the Ripper
murders, which he thought were grossly
oversensationalised. Almost immediately after being
promoted, Anderson went on an extended holiday in
France, leaving others in charge. He was called back
after a month because of increased bad publicity over
the Ripper murders.
Anderson retired in 1901 and was appointed Knight
Commander of the Order of the Bath (KCB) in the King's
Birthday Honours List in November 1901, having been
appointed Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in
1896.
Anderson was brought up in a devout Christian home, but
in his late teens he had doubts about his faith. His
sister Annie, later Lady Boyd, was influenced by the
Irish Evangelical Revival of 1859–1860 and persuaded him
to attend one of the services held in Dublin by the
Reverend Joseph Denham Smith, but he was not
particularly impressed. The following Sunday evening,
however, he attended a service in his own church and
heard the Reverend John Hall (afterwards of New York),
who "boldly proclaimed forgiveness of sins, and eternal
life as God's gift in grace, unreserved and
unconditional, to be received by us as we sat in the
pews. His sermon thrilled me," Anderson wrote later when
describing the event, "and yet I deemed his doctrine to
be unscriptural. So I waylaid him as he left the vestry,
and on our homeward walk I tackled him about his
heresies… At last he let go my arm, and, facing me as we
stood upon the pavement, he repeated with great
solemnity his gospel message and appeal. 'I tell you,'
he said, 'as a minister of Christ, and in His name, that
there is life for you here and now if you will accept
Him. Will you accept Christ, or will you reject Him?'
After a pause – how prolonged I know not – I exclaimed,
'In God's name I will accept Christ.' Not another word
passed between us; but after another pause he wrung my
hand and left me. And I turned homewards with the peace
of God filling my heart."
He was especially close to some of the greatest biblical
teachers of his day, including James Martin Gray, Cyrus
Scofield, A. C. Dixon, Horatius Bonar and E. W.
Bullinger. He also preached with John Nelson Darby in
the West of Ireland. Anderson was a member of the
Plymouth Brethren, first with Darby then with the Open
Brethren party, before returning to his Presbyterian
roots. He wrote numerous theological works: C. H.
Spurgeon commented that Anderson's book Human Destiny
was "the most valuable contribution on the subject" that
he had seen.
In 1873, he married Lady Agnes Alexandrina Moore, sister
of Ponsonby Moore, 9th Earl of Drogheda. They had five
children.
Anderson died from the Spanish Influenza in 1918, aged
77.
W. H. Smith, on the floor of the House of Commons,
stated that Anderson "had discharged his duties with
great ability and perfect faithfulness to the public."
Raymond Blathwayt, in Great Thoughts, wrote: "Sir Robert
Anderson is one of the men to whom the country, without
knowing it, owes a great debt."
Anderson and his wife are buried in Kensal Green
Cemetery.

All items will be shipped out within
1 business day to your PayPal address. We
will only ship to your PayPal verified address. Please
view our shipping and sales tax rules on our shipping and
payments tab above.
All items are shipped by USPS first class mail. In an
effort to keep our costs down, that are passed along as low
prices to you, all of our disks are packaged and shipped in
economic sleeves and mailers. All of our disks are labeled
with a clean label and some graphics. The disks are made
this way for speed and cost, which translates into lower cost
for you. We focus our efforts on the quality of the
material on the disk. We do not believe in charging you an
extra 3 or 4 dollars like some companies out there just to throw
in a 25 cent plastic case and slap a color label on an item.
We believe you purchase for content, and ours is the best,
although we still believe you will be pleased with the
presentation.
PLEASE READ
ABOUT SHIPPING TIMES:
The estimated delivery dates shown above are ebay's estimates,
not ours. Sometimes ebay's dates are completely
unrealistic. Every effort is made to get your item out the
next day, but once it leaves us, we ask that you please
understand that we do not guarantee delivery by any date, since
the USPS does not give us a guarantee either. Below is our
estimates on what to expect:
USA CUSTOMERS: Most times, your package will arrive in
about 1 week after we ship them depending on where
you are at. However, lately the Post Office it seems has
not been very cooperative with us and we've had a couple of
customers wait a few days longer than that. If the item
does not arrive, please email us directly and let us know, and
we will make it right.
NON-USA CUSTOMERS: Same deal above, except your
packages typically have been taking about 2 weeks or so after we
ship them. We've noticed that maybe 20% of overseas
customers have been waiting as long as 4+ weeks for these
shipments. The only explanation we can come up with is
that it must be stuck in some container in some dock waiting on
customs clearance. It happens, and for those 20% of
customers, we apologize, but there is very little we can do
about that. Your disk will arrive or we will replace it.
Multiple items purchased by the same customer may or may not be
shipped in the same package, at our discretion. We
do not offer any additional discounts on multiple items other
than the ones noted above.
Feedback Policy:
Please offer us a chance
to fix any problems before leaving us negative feedback for any
reason by emailing us first with your problem. The only thing
we ask from our customers is that if they have a problem, that they
give us a chance to fix the problem for them before they leave bad
feedback. If negative feedback is left without any prior
communication, we will assume you are no longer interested in
communicating and working things out.
If
you run into issues and wish to speak with us, we ask that you
please refrain from opening a request on ebay and email us directly
by asking a question first, and give us a chance to answer you
before you open a request!
If you have any
questions prior to bidding, please use contact the seller above and
let us know. Thank you!!!!!!
