[ Further particulars of the late William Ha- 
milton, M. D. whose death was mentioned at 
p- 87. of sur last number. He was born ‘of a 
respectable family in the North of Ireland, 
but had the misfortune to lose his father 
before his birth. The paternal estate, though 
not ample, was more than adequate to the 
expences of a liberal education, and his mother, 
who is yet living, sent him at the proper age 
to one of the first, grammar schools i in Dubting 
then kept by Dr. Darby, to acquire the 
elements of classical learning. When properly 
qualified, he was entered at the University of 
Glasgow, where he passed through the regular 
course i general study. Having thus laid in 
a competent stock of preparatory knowledge, 
he comsuenced his medicaj studies at Edin- 
burgh, under the protessurs of that se hool. 
He was too ambitious of excellence to neglect 
the advantages oi a situation so iavourable te 
imprevement, and a mind like his would not 
rest satisfied with those elements of science, 
which tke routine of academical lectures 
given by the ablest men can furnish. He 
was early impressed with the dignity , and 
iraportance of a profession, in which the health 
and lives of men are so deeply congeined, 
and determined to neglect no means and spare 
no expence that might qualify him for the 
complete discharge of his professional duties. 
With, this view, after taking his degree at 
Ldineurgh, he visited the, principal cities of 
Fiolland, France, Italy and Germany, ex- 
amined both. the merits and de‘ects of their 
public Hospitals ; 3 and studiously observed the. 
medical practice of Europe i in ail its variety. 
Such was Dr. Hamilton's .preparation , for 
settling gs.a physician i iu the: metropolis, cand [..

education could-go ag turther, But there is.
