  Henry Mackenzie - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
HENRY MACKENZIE (1745-1831), Scottish novelist and miscellaneous writer, was born at Edinburgh in August 1745.
Mackenzie was educated at the high school and the university of Edinburgh, and was then articled to George Inglis of Redhall, who was attorney for the crown in the management of exchequer business.
Mackenzie was an ardent Tory, and wrote many tracts intended to counteract the doctrines of the French Revolution.

 Henry Mackenzie, Untitled Article in The Lounger   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
Mackenzie's premise is that the reading public of the novel is composed, overwhelmingly, of "the young, and the indolent, to whom the exercise of the imagination is delightful, and the labour of thought is irksome".
Mackenzie's argument clearly attacks the fundamental moral assumptions of the literature of sensibility and, paradoxically, it threatens Mackenzie's own literary and moral reputation.
Of course, The Man of Feeling may, from its sheer simplicity, escape the criticism that it portrays a "rivalship of virtues and of duties," or that it concerns itself with situations in which "[t]he duty to parents is contrasted with the ties of friendship and of love".

Dr Mackenzie was, we believe, a native of Fortrose, upon the Moray frith, but had removed in early life to Edinburgh, where he acquired an extensive practice as a physician, and distinguished himself in the world of letters as author of a volume of Medical and Literary Essays.
Mr Mackenzie executed his purpose; and as the plan fell in most happily with the views of a writer, whose object was less to describe external objects, than to read a lesson to the human heart, he has produced one of the most heart-wringing histories which has ever been written.
Among Mackenzie’s compositions are several political pamphlets, all upon the Tory side; the first being "An Account of the Proceedings of the Parliament of 1784," in which he strongly defended the views of his friend, Mr Henry Dundas, afterwards viscount Melville.

Henry Mackenzie (1745–1831) passed a long and peaceful life at Edinburgh, where he held the post of attorney for the Crown, and subsequently of comptroller of the taxes, for Scotland.

Mackenzie has sometimes been criticised for advising Burns to accept what, by modem standards, seems a small sum for so great a work.
Mackenzie's friendship with Burns, though it probably never got past the formal stage, resulted in an introduction to Mackenzie's brother-in-law, Sir James Grant of Castle Grant, whom the poet visited during his Highland tour of 1787.
Mackenzie is the author of some lines, 'Verses on the Destruction of the Woods near Drumlanrig' once credited to Burns.
