	Significant Scots - Sir James MacKintosh
		MACKINTOSH, (SIR) JAMES, a distinguished historian and statesman, was born on the 24th of October, 1765, at Alldowrie, the residence of his grandmother, situated on the banks of Loch Ness, about seven miles from Inverness.
		The lairds of Killochy, as the eldest branch of the Mackintoshes extant, were always captains of the watch (a feudal military appointment) to the chief of the clan, and acted in this capacity in all the hostilities in which he happened to be engaged.
		Great as Sir James Mackintosh certainly was as an orator, he was yet greater as an author, and the fame which he derives from the latter character, stands on still higher and firmer ground than that on which the former is rested.

	James Mackintosh (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		James Mackintosh was born in Aldowrie near Inverness on 24 October 1765, the son of a military man and minor landowner, and died in London on 30 May 1832.
		Mackintosh’s early work, the response to Burke, is a political pamphlet, not a philosophical dissertation, which mixes English ‘Commonwealth’ ideas with Scottish moral philosophy and Rousseauan rights talk.
		Finally, it is remarkable that Mackintosh begins his treatment of modern moral philosophy with a discussion of Grotius and that he sees the Dutchman’s main concern to be an answer to moral scepticism.

	William Hazlitt's Essay from The Spirit of the Age, "Sir James MacKintosh."
		Sir James is by education and habit, and we were going to add, by the original turn of his mind, a college-man; and perhaps he would have passed his time most happily and respectably, had he devoted himself entirely to that kind of life.
		Sir James has, since this period and with the help of practice, lowered himself to the tone of the House, and has also applied himself to questions more congenial to his habits of mind, and where the success would be more likely to be proportioned to his zeal and his exertions.
		Mackintosh had something of the air, much of the dexterity and self-possession, of a political and philosophical juggler; and an eager and admiring audience gaped and greedily swallowed the gilded bait of sophistry, prepared for their credulity and wonder.

	The Consolidation of Criminal Laws
		Sir Robert Peel came to represent the leadership of the criminal law reform movement in 1823.
		Previously, much effort for this reform had been expended by Sir Samuel Romilly and Sir James Mackintosh, who were anxious to alter the laws that filled the prisons and were not unmindful, therefore, of the related movement of prison reform itself.
		Hence, Sir Robert's approach to the problems described in this speech is the kind of approach which engendered confidence in his leadership and which permitted him to reduce ultimately the number of offenses calling for capital punishment to a mere half dozen.
