@OUPAcademic: It would appear that in "Oxford Treasury of Sayings and Quotations" by Susan Ratcliffe that the quote:
"On earth, there is nothing great but man; in man, there is nothing great but mind."
which appears on page 293 is properly attributed to William Hamilton, however, he appears to have written and published it 7 years prior to the stated reference. It appears in 1852 in the opening pages of "The Works of Thomas Reid" (see https://archive.org/details/worksofthomasrei00reiduoft).
