HAMILTON, THOMAS (1789-1842)

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
HAMILTON, THOMAS (1789-1842) , Scottish writer, younger brother of the philosopher, Sir
William
  Hamilton,
Bart
 ., was born in 1789. He was educated at Glasgow University, where he made a
close
  friend of
Michael
  Scott, the author of Tom Cringle's Log. He entered the army in 181o, and served through-out the Peninsular and American
campaigns
 , but continued to cultivate his literary tastes. On the conclusion of peace he withdrew, with the rank of captain, from active service. He contributed both
prose
  and verse to Blackwood's Magazine, in which appeared his vigorous and popular military novel, Cyril Thornton (1827). His Annals of the Peninsular Campaign, published originally in 1829, and republished in 1849 with additions by Frederick Hardman, is written with
great
  clearness and impartiality. His only other
work
 , Men and Manners in America, published originally in 1833, is somewhat coloured by British prejudice, and by the author's aristocratic dislike of a
democracy
 . Hamilton died at Pisa on the 7th of
December
  1842.
