Thomas Hamilton, as See also:professor of See also:anatomy in the university of Glasgow; and when he died in 1790, in his See also:thirty-second See also:year, he had already gained a See also:great reputation. William Hamilton and a younger See also:brother (after-wards See also:Captain Thomas Hamilton, q.v.) were thus brought up under the See also:sole care of their See also:mother. William received his See also:early See also:education in See also:Scotland, except during two years which he spent in a private school near See also:London, and went in 1807, as a See also:Snell exhibitioner, to Balliol See also:College, See also:- OXFORD

Oxford. He obtained a first-class in literis humanioribus and took the degree of B.A. in 1811, M.A. in 1814. He had been intended for the medical profession, but soon after leaving Oxford he gave up this See also:idea, and in 1813 became a member of the Scottish See also:bar. His See also:life, however, was mainly that of a student; and the following years, marked by little of outward incident, were filled by researches of all kinds, through which he daily added to his stores of learning, while at the same See also:- TIME (0.

time he was gradually forming his philosophic See also:system. Investigation enabled him to make See also:good his claim to represent the See also:ancient See also:family of Hamilton of See also:Preston, and in .1816 he took up the baronetcy, which had been in See also:abeyance since the See also:death of Sir See also:Robert Hamilton of Preston (1650-1701), well known in his See also:day as a Covenanting See also:leader.
Two visits to See also:Germany in 1817 and 182o led to his taking up the study of See also:German and later on that of contemporary German See also:philosophy, which was then almost entirely neglected in the See also:British See also:universities. In 182o he was a See also:candidate for the See also:chair of moral philosophy in the university of See also:Edinburgh, which had fallen vacant on the death of Thomas See also:- BROWN

Soon afterwards (1821) he was appointed professor of See also:civil See also:history, and as such delivered several courses of lectures on the history of See also:modern See also:Europe and the history of literature. The See also:salary was £See also:ioo a year, derived from a See also:local See also:beer tax, and was discontinued after a time. No pupils were compelled to attend, the class dwindled, and Hamilton gave it up when the salary ceased. In See also:January 1827 he suffered a severe, loss in the death of his mother, to whom he had been a devoted son. In March 1828 he married his See also:cousin See also:Janet See also:Marshall.
In 1829 his career of authorship began with the See also:appearance of the well-known See also:essay on the "Philosophy of the Unconditioned" (a critique of See also:Comte's Cours de philosophie)—the first of a See also:series of articles contributed by him to the Edinburgh See also:Review.
