These tales, typical of their maritime venues, tend to the mystical, the fog-girt, the occult and the morose, the most useful assemblies of his early work in this vein being Spun Yarn: Sea Stories (coll 1898) and "Where Angels Fear to Tread" and Other Tales of the Sea (coll 1899) , both of these assembled with one added story as Spun Yarn: Sea Stories (omni 1900) ; some later work appears in Over the Border (coll 1914). His sf is sometimes similarly atmospheric, though a story like "The Battle of the Monsters" (16 July 1899 Saturday Evening Post) is one of several late nineteenth-century tales featuring microscopic observers (see Great and Small) who report back on events within the human body, in this case a battle between rabies bacilli and antitoxins (see Medicine). Of his Future-War tales, "The Submarine Destroyer" (September 1905 Everybody's Magazine) in which the Invention of a torpedo-deflecting warship enables America to enforce the repatriation of Japanese-Americans to a reluctant Japan (see Yellow Peril) is perhaps the strongest; though "A Matter of Induction" (15 April 1910 Popular Magazine) featuring the continuing character Finnegan who becomes a genius when drunk, and is consequently able to fly a brand-new experimental plane that no one else knows how to pilot is also a future-war tale of interest."

Octavo, eight volumes, publisher's terra cotta cloth stamped in gold and blind. A mix of first and later editions as issued. The "Autograph Edition," a uniform edition collecting Robertson's stories published by McClure's Magazine and Metropolitan Magazine. Some sets have Robertson's signature affixed to the recto of the leaf preceding the title leaf in WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD, this set has no tipped in signature. Collectively, this is the major repository of Robertson's fantastic fiction. Robertson is best remembered now as author of the 1898 story, "Futility," which struck later readers as an uncanny premonition of the Titanic disaster in 1912. This edition, got up two years later by Robertson's friends, repeats the odd resonance between art and life, for by this time the once-successful magazine and book author was dead-broke. Private owner's bookplate affixed to the front paste-down of each volume. Cloth a bit soiled and faded, some wear to spine ends, top edges dusty, a sound, good set with clean interiors. (#176651).
