 | | These truths Dr Hamilton is not content with proving argumentatively—he has coupled them with a minute history of the various financial proceedings of the country, and tables of practical calculation, giving, on the one hand, historical information; and, on the others showing the exact sums which the government has at different periods misapplied. |
 | | Dr Hamilton left three daughters, of whom the second was married to the late Mr Thomson of Banchory, in Kincardineshire, and the youngest to the Rev. Robert Swan of Abercrombie, in Fife. |
 | | Dr Hamilton was remarkable for his absence; not that he mingled subjects with each other, and mistook what he was thinking about, the error of a weak mind, but he was frequently engaged in his mathematical studies, when other persons were differently employed. |
