HENRY See also:MACKENZIE (1745-1831)
, Scottish novelist and See also:miscellaneous writer, was See also:born at See also:Edinburgh in See also:August 1745
.
His See also:father, See also:Joshua See also:Mackenzie, was a distinguished physician, and his See also:mother, See also:Margaret See also:Rose, belonged to an old See also:Nairnshire See also:family
.
Mackenzie was educated at the high school and the university of Edinburgh, and was then articled to See also:George See also:Inglis of Redhall, who was See also:attorney for the See also:crown in the management of See also:exchequer business
.
In 1765 he was sent to See also:London to See also:prose-cute his legal studies, and on his return to Edinburgh became partner with Inglis, whom he afterwards succeeded as attorney for the crown
.
His first and most famous See also:work, The See also:Man of Feeling, was published anonymously in 1771, and met with instant success
.
The
.
" Man of Feeling " is a weak creature, dominated by a futile benevolence, who goes up to London and falls into the hands of See also:people who exploit his innocence
.
The sentimental See also:key in which the See also:book is written shows the author's acquaintance with See also:Sterne and See also:Richardson, but he had neither the See also:humour of Sterne nor the subtle insight into See also:character of Richardson
.
One See also:Eccles of See also:Bath claimed the authorship of this book, bringing in support of his pretensions a MS. with many ingenious erasures
.
Mackenzie's name was then officially announced, but Eccles appears to have induced some people to believe in him
.
In 1773 Mackenzie published a second novel, The Man of the See also:World, the See also:hero of which was as consistently See also:bad as the " Man of Feeling " had been " constantly obedient to his moral sense," as See also:Sir See also:Walter See also:Scott says
.
Julia de Roubigne (1777), a See also:story in letters, was preferred to his other novels by " See also:Christopher See also:North," who had a high See also:opinion of Mackenzie (see Noctes Ambrosianae, vol. i. p
.

.
,866)
.
The first of his dramatic pieces, The See also:Prince of See also:Tunis, was produced in Edinburgh in 1773 with a certain measure of success
.
The others were failures
.
At Edinburgh Mackenzie belonged to a See also:literary See also:club, at the meetings of which papers in the manner of the Spectator were read
.
This led to the See also:establishment of a weekly periodical called the See also:Mirror (See also:January 23, 1779—May 27, 1780), of which Mackenzie was editor and See also:chief contributor
.
It was followed in 1785 by a similar See also:paper, the Lounger, which ran for nearly two years and had the distinction of containing one of the earliest tributes to the See also:genius of See also:Robert See also:Burns
.
Mackenzie was an ardent Tory, and wrote many tracts intended to counteract the doctrines of the See also:French Revolution
.
Most of these remained See also:anonymous, but he acknowledged his See also:Review of the See also:Principal Proceedings of the See also:Parliament of 1784, a See also:defence of the policy of See also:- WILLIAM
