HENRY (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 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. 155, ed. ,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

Grant of Grant. He was, in his later years, a notable figure in
Edinburgh society. He was nicknamed the " man of feeling," but he was in reality a hard-headed man of affairs with a kindly See also:heart. Some of his literary reminiscences were embodied in his See also:Account of the See also:Life and Writings of See also:John See also:Home, Esq. (1822). He also wrote a Life of See also:Doctor See also:Blacklock, prefixed to the 1793 edition of the poet's See also:works. He died on the 14th of January 1831.
In 1807 The Works of Henry Mackenzie were published surreptitiously, and he then himself superintended the publication of his Works (8 vols., 1808). There is an admiring but discriminating See also:criticism of his work in the Prefatory Memoir prefixed by Sir Walter Scott to an edition of his novels in Ballantyne's Novelist's Library (vol. V., 1823).
