Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review, Vol. 62: Or Critical Journal, for October, 1835, January, 1836 After having been for half a century the admiration or dread of his contemporaries, Bolingbroke, since his death, has been pointed at by the hand Of scorn as an unprincipled politician, a flimsy reasoner, and a superficial declaimer. Whigs, Tories, par sons, and even players, have joined in scoffing at and decrying him. The Whigs have pursued his memory with acrimony for his sacrifice Of the national faith and honour at the peace of Utrecht and from the belief they firmly entertained of the cri minal designs projected by him and his colleagues to bring back an unhappy race, the inveterate enemies of the religion and liberties of their country. Churchmen, who had regarded him at one time as the most Splendid champion, and brightest orna ment Of their party, and had overlooked his private frailties in consideration of his zeal in their service, turned against him with rancorous hostility when they discovered that he had never be lieved nor respected the holy doctrines they profess. SO univer sal has been the clamour against him, that his present biographer is the first who has undertaken to write an extended Life, or to attempt a vindication of the once celebrated Lord Bolingbroke.

The famous Irish mathematician Sir William Rowan Hamilton (1805-1865) is generally regarded as having been an unhappily married alcoholic. The aim of this essay is to show that, contrary to this widespread belief, Hamilton had a good marriage, that in fact large parts of his marriage were fairly happy. It is discussed where the idea of his marriage as having been an unhappy one came from, and it is shown that according to current standards he was by no means an alcoholic.
