The Rev. William Hamilton (1755–1797) was an Irish Protestant minister, geologist, meteorologist and antiquarian, killed by a mob for his pro-British views. His book, Letters Concerning the North Coast of Antrim, was pivotal in the vulcanist understanding of the history of the planet and was translated into several languages.
