Oxford exclusively, but exclusively to the education afforded in its fundamental faculty, that of A rts. And in reference even to this, had I anticipated the amount of tedious toil which the mere collecting and verifying of the facts would cost, I might have been disposed to avoid what, though to me a real labor, is so disproportioned to any apparent result. A part from the A ppendices, the new matter, whether of text or notes, except where distinction was needless, is inclosed within square brackets. EDINBURGH, March, 1852. The Addenda and Corrigenda at the end of theE nglish edition are, in the American republication, inserted in their proper places in the text.

William Hamilton
William Gerard Hamilton was an English statesman and Irish politician, popularly known as Single Speech Hamilton.
Education
William Gerard Hamilton was educated at Winchester and at Oriel College, Oxford.
Career
William Gerard Hamilton's maiden speech, delivered on 13 November 1755, during the debate on the address, which excited Walpole"s admiration, is generally supposed to have been his only effort in the House of Commons. But the nickname "Single Speech" is undoubtedly misleading, and Hamilton is known to have spoken with success on other occasions, both in the House of Commons and in the Irish parliament. In 1756 he was appointed one of the commissioners for trade and plantations, and in 1761 he became chief secretary to Lord Halifax, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, as well as Member of Parliament of the Irish House of Commons for Killybegs (until 1768) and English Member of Parliament for Pontefract.
He was Irish Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1763, and subsequently filled various other administrative offices.
Hamilton was thought very highly of by Samuel Johnson, and it is certain that he was strongly opposed to the British taxation of America. He died in London on 16 July 1796, and was buried in the chancel vault of Street Martins-in-the-Fields.
Two of his speeches in the Irish House of Commons, and some other miscellaneous works—including previously unpublished notes on the Corn Laws by Johnson—were published by Edmond Malone after his death under the title Parliamentary Logick.
