This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!
Autorenporträt
Henry Mackenzie was born on July 26, 1745, at Liberton Wynd in Edinburgh. His father, Dr. Joshua Mackenzie, was a well-known doctor in Edinburgh. His mother, Margaret Rose, was from an old family in Nairnshire. Mackenzie's family, the Mackenzies of Inverlael, were descended from the ancient Barons of Kintail. Mackenzie went to High School and then the University of Edinburgh to study law. Margaret and Hope were his daughters. Joshua Henry Davidson, who lived from 1785 to 1847, was the Queen's first doctor in Scotland. The Prince of Tunis, the first of his plays, was put on in Edinburgh in 1773, with some success. Other plays, however, did not do as well. Mackenzie was a member of an Edinburgh literary club in Edinburgh. The club read papers like The Spectator. Henry Mackenzie was in charge of the Mirror and wrote most of its articles. In 1785, a similar paper called the Lounger came out. It was published for almost two years and had one of the earliest tributes to Robert Burns.
