For getting a feel for the axiomatic definition of the classic number systems, it's pretty good. Rigorous it ain't but then that's not what it sets out to be. It also leaves out proving quite a few important steps. But a lot of the works out there are difficult to follow and it's not easy to see where they're going. Hamilton's strength is the lucidity of his exposition and his ability to understand exactly where the difficult bits are that need explaining.
