In 1850 James See also:Paterson edited The Poems and Songs of William Hamilton. This See also:volume contains several poems till then unpublished, and gives a See also:life of the author.several 'See also:treatises on earthquakes and volcanoes between 1776 and 1783. He was a See also:fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and of the Dilettanti, and a notable See also:collector. Many of his treasures went to enrich the See also:British Museum. In 1772 he was made a See also:knight of the See also:Bath. The last ten years of his life presented a curious contrast to the elegant See also:peace of those which had preceded them. In 1791 he married Emma See also:Lyon (see the See also:separate See also:article on See also:Lady Hamilton). The outbreak of the See also:French Revolution and the rapid See also:extension of the revolutionary See also:movement in Western See also:Europe soon overwhelmed See also:Naples. It was a misfortune for See also:Sir William that he was left to meet the very trying See also:political and See also:diplomatic conditions which arose after 1793. His health had begun to break down, and he suffered from bilious fevers. Sir William was in fact in a state approaching dotage before his recall, a fact which, combined with his senile devotion to Lady Hamilton, has to be considered in accounting for his extraordinary complaisance in her relations with See also:Nelson. He died on the 6th of See also:April 1803.
