Item 145 - Letter from Augustus De Morgan

6 pp

41 Chalcot Villas, Adelaide Road NW - By 'mortal coil - which we shuffle off -', Shakespeare meant 'the body - not by any means a mere wrapper: Shakespeare was 'alluding to the body as the trouble which there would be an end of'. William Hamilton is clear and acute with his psychology but confounds 'the infinite and the absolute - makes his usual mistake about quantity - all somewhat resembling his confusion of identification and equation'. Gives his remarks on the 36 syllogisms he detects in Hamilton's work.
