Abstract
In writing the life of a person who himself published nothing, it is extremely difficult to satisfy the expectation of his particular friends, without incurring the charge of adulation from the rest of the public. How far I have succeeded in doing justice to Mr Hamilton's merit, without insensibility or exaggeration, must be determined by those who knew him, and by those who can appreciate the worth of such professional remarks as I shall lay before them in the sequel. Mr William Hamilton was born in Glasgow July 31. 1758. Having finished the usual course at the Grammar School, he went to Glasgow College in 1770, and continued there studying with great diligence till 1775, when he became Master of Arts at the age of seventeen.
