The Hamilton Letters by John A Davis
Sir William Hamilton personified the age of the Enlightenment - a collector and connoisseur, amateur scientist and archaeologist, vulcanologist, anthropologist and a gentleman of taste and intellectual curiosity. This book offers a portrait of this complex and sophisticated figure and brings a period of history to life.
'Scholarly, worthwhile and very interesting' Jeremy Black, Professor of History, University of Exeter
