Summary

Henry Mackenzie contributed forty-two papers to The Mirror and fifty-seven to The Lounger.  When the Royal Society of Edinburgh was founded Henry Mackenzie was active as one of its first members.  He was also one of the founders of the Highland Society.

Although his “Man of Feeling” was a serious reflection of the false sentiment of the Revolution, Mackenzie joined afterwards in writing tracts to dissuade the people from faith in the doctrines of the Revolutionists.  Mackenzie wrote also a tragedy, “The Prince of Tunis,” which was acted with success at Edinburgh, and a comedy, “The White Hypocrite,” which was acted once only at Covent garden.  He died at the age of eighty-six, on the 13th June, 1831, having for many years been regarded as an elder friend of their own craft by the men of letters who in his days gave dignity to Edinburgh society, and caused the town to be called the Modern Athens.

A man of refined taste, who caught the tone of the French sentiment of his time, has, of course, pleased French critics, and has been translated into French.  “The Man of Feeling” begins with imitation of Sterne, and proceeds in due course through so many tears that it is hardly to be called a dry book.  As guide to persons of a calculating disposition who may read these pages I append an index to the Tears shed in “The Man of Feeling.”

Here are some of Amazon’s Excellent Reviews

- "This novel provides so many of the pleasures of reading a book from another era and another sensibility. I have been taught more about the late eighteenth century psychology than you've ever been taught before.“
