Our book, as its title would suggest, concerns one Arthur Hamilton (and his dog!).
There are a few other Arthur Hamiltons of note, though.
One is the most senior judge in the Scottish judiciary. His Wikipedia entry notes (the links are ours, the text is Wikipedia's):
'As Lord President and Lord Justice General, he is responsible for the supervision of these Courts and for the determination of policy and rules of court procedure. He also makes appointments to some tribunals and makes recommendations to The Queen for the appointment of Queen’s Counsel."
There's another Arthur Hamilton who is well-known for his skills as a songwriter. His...
"songs have been performed by Dinah Washington, Harry Connick Jr., Barbara Streisand, Johnny Mathis, Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald, and countless others."
Neither should be confused with our protagonist!

OUR FIRST BOOK: ARTHUR HAMILTON, AND HIS DOG...
This anonymously-penned book was originally created in 1851 for the Massachusetts Sabbath School Society.
As you'd expect, there's a strong Sunday school message. There are also some too-dense paragraphs and a bit of what we might now call "cheesiness". It's not all cotton candy and fun times, though. Arthur's dog may not have much bark, but there's a little bite to this one.
It's a captivating little story that paints a portrait of its era.
We hope you enjoy keeping up with daily passages from ARTHUR HAMILTON, AND HIS DOG.
