If that sounds familiar, you might remember that is where Edward Irving preached. Hamilton was his succcesor! Hamilton, however, from all that I have read, seems quite orhodox and his litereary skill is breathtaking. His ability to paint word pictures gives a vividness to the texts on which he prached. Worth checking out  |  William Arnot's biography of James Hamilton (1814 - 1867) is available online here. He was influential both in Scottish and English Presbyterianism.
Kessinger has reprinted several of his writings, found here.
The six volumes of his works (I especially enjoyed reading his treatise on family worship in volume 2), as well as other select works are available online as well. Works, Vol. 1 Works, Vol. 2 Works, Vol. 3 Works, Vol. 4 Works, Vol. 5 Works, Vol. 6 The Royal Preacher: Lectures on Ecclesiastes Life of Bunyan The Mount of Olives, and Other Lectures on Prayer Lessons from the Great Biography The Happy Home: Affectionately Inscribed to the Working People A memoir of Richard Williams, surgeon : catechist to the Patagonian missionary society in Tierra del Fuego
