The Progress of Society (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Progress of Society

The work now offered to the favourable reception of the public, being from the pen of the late Dr. Hamil ton, of Aberdeen, and evidently composed with an eye to publication, stands in no need of a prefatory recommendation. A life extended beyond the ordi nary limits, and passed chiefly in public and important situations, and in the course of which he published various valuable works, has made Dr. Hamilton well known to the greater number of those who are likely to take an interest in this volume. But as it is pro bable that no more of his writings will be submitted to the public, a short notice or memoir of the Author may not prove unacceptable to the community at large, and will be particularly gratifying to his friends and acquaintance.
