	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : William Rowan Hamilton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Hamilton's mathematical studies seem to have been undertaken and carried to their full development without any assistance whatever, and the result is that his writings belong to no particular "school," unless indeed we consider them to form, as they are well entitled to do, a school by themselves.
		Hamilton detected an important defect in one of Laplace’s demonstrations, he was induced by a friend to write out his remarks, that they might be shown to Dr John Brinkley, afterwards bishop of Cloyne, but who was then the first royal astronomer for Ireland, and an accomplished mathematician.
		Hamilton was not specially fitted for the post, for although he had a profound acquaintance with theoretical astronomy, he had paid but little attention to the regular work of the practical astronomer.

	William Hamilton
		HAMILTON, WILLIAM, of Bangour, a poet of considerable merit, was the second son of James Hamilton, Esq.
		Hamilton, therefore, had much to overcome in entering the lists as an original writer in his own language, the elegance, the purity, and the freedom, though perhaps not the force nor the energy, of which he understood so well.
		Mr Hamilton of Bangour is sometimes mistaken for and identified with another poet of the same name, William Hamilton of Gilbertfield in Lanarkshire, a lieutenant in the navy, who was the friend and correspondent of Allan Ramsay, and the modernizer of Blind Harry’s poem of Wallace.

		The definitive source for information on the life of William Wallace is not from history, but from a poem written in the fifteenth century by Henry the Minstrel, better known as Blind Harry.
		The aftermath of the film and the William Wallace renaissance is not an unfamiliar or surprising phenomenon when the evolution of the Wallace legend is examined in detail.
		Blind Harry's original epic, the 1722 William Hamilton translation, and 1995's Braveheart) the evolution of the William Wallace legend will be examined, demonstrating how epic storytelling has changed throughout the ages, and how the Wallace legend has remained a timeless icon for Scottish nationalism and heroism.

		On the Trail of William Wallace (On the Trail of) by David R Ross
		William Hamilton of Gilbertsfield's retelling of Blind Harry's Wallace, which he rewrote into rhyming couplets in the eighteenth century, starts with two strikes against it.
		Hamilton is not always faithful to his source; the introduction notes that a supernatural sequence, where Blind Harry had Wallace dreaming a vision of the Virgin Mary, and had his vision interpreted by a priest, has been altered in this retelling to better suit Presbyterian sensibilities.

	Inaugural Lectures (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		It shows that, in the eighteenth century, people did not necessarily write letters in verse with a view to publishing them, but for their own amusement and that of their friends and families, and yet that the form was often also adapted to other aims.
		These include promoting Scottish culture in the epistles between Hamilton and Ramsay; negotiating a position of disadvantage or dependency in those by Brereton and Jones; and helping make a living for poets such as Bancks and Lloyd at a time when the form became a marketable commodity.
		The lecture argues that the eighteenth-century familiar epistle was a subaltern form that enabled satirical humourous reflection and that casts light on the social life of the period.

		The epic verse of Blind Harry is the main source on the life of Wallace.
		It was written around 1477 and based on the now lost Latin book of John Blair, commissioned by 'the fechting bishop' William Sinclair, Bishop of Dunkeld, to send to the Pope.
		Hamilton's edition, 'wherein the old obsolete words are rendered more intelligible', first published in 1722, was almost certainly the most widely read book in eighteenth century Scotland after the Bible.

		Few poets anywhere in the world can have acquired such unchallengeable status as national icons as Robert Burns: even readers who know nothing else about Scottish literature, or about Scotland at all, know that Burns is Scotland’s national poet.
		Burns was the eldest of seven children born to William Burnes, a gardener (later a tenant farmer) from Kincardine, and Agnes Broun of Carrick, in Ayrshire.
		The cottage in which he was born and spent his early life (now a museum) was built by his father: on the night of the poet’s birth the thatch blew off in a storm, forcing the family to seek shelter with a neighbour; an incident hinted at in the song “Rantin’, Rovin’ Robin”:
