Reprint of the standard biography of MacKenzie. Lord Advocate during the reigns of Charles II and James II, MacKenzie persecuted Scottish Presbyterians with such zeal that he was known as "The Bloody MacKenzie." (In many cases, he bent the law to secure a conviction.) Also an important scholar and author, he founded the Advocates Library, which is now the National Library of Scotland. His works include The Laws and Customs of Scotland, In Matters Criminal (1678), which is available as a Lawbook Exchange reprint.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1909 edition. Excerpt: ... appendix C mackenzie and the barony of bute Robert Chambers, in his notice of Mackenzie Scottish Biographical Dictionary, vol. iii. p. 501), says: "After this celebrated trial that of the Earl of Argyll, 1681, he Mackenzie appears to have obtained, as part of the spoil, the gift of the Barony of Bute, ratified by the Parliament of 1681." It is believed that Chambers is under a complete mistake in supposing that Sir George Mackenzie received "as part of the spoil the gift of the Barony of Bute." It is very evident that Chambers had not examined the Act of 1681, and had overlooked the connection by marriage which existed between Mackenzie and the Bute family. The Act "ratifies ane signature past under his maties Royall hand at Whitehall, the day of," without completing the date. The precise date of the signature is therefore unknown. No charter, precept, or sasine followed upon it, and it is evident from the terms of the statute that Sir George Mackenzie's right was that of an assignee of certain procuratories of resignation made by Alexander Home, merchant in Glasgow, Boyle of Kelburne, and the Earl of Uundonald. The lands described in the Act are very numerous, and apparently consisted of the whole estate of Bute which had belonged to the deceased Sir James and Sir Dugald Stewart. The grant included the office of Crownarie; the office of Heritable Keeper of his Majesty's Castle of Rothesay; and the heritable office of Sheriff. The ratified signature also contained a Novodamus of the whole lands and others, and united the whole in the Barony of Bute. Sir George Mackenzie, having never completed his title by charter, precept and sasine, it is clear that he had interposed for some purpose not personal to himself--probably for the protection...

Excerpt from Sir George Mackenzie: King's Advocate, of Rosehaugh, His Life and Times; 1636 1691 In the education of Scotland the Restoration was a bitter but necessary moment. The century of war between State and Kirk, arising from the intolerable claims which the Crown on one side, and the preachers on the other, asserted, must come to an end in one way or another, if Scotland was ever to be reasonably tranquil. Between 1660 and 1689, the two contending powers wore each other down: the Government of William of Orange then entered perforce on constitutional paths; the pretensions of the preachers were henceforth maintained, but mainly in a platonic, not a practical fashion. It is impossible to imagine what would have occurred had the ministers of Charles II. and James II. been less unscrupulous. "The good old cause" of the Covenant - that unhappy anachronism - might not have ceased to trouble, had Lauderdale, Rothes, and the other rulers been men of temperate character, well-meaning, large-minded Liberals. How the pretensions of the preachers could have been reduced, save by the ferocities of repression, I am unable to imagine. "Scotsmen are only governable by such usage," wrote Lauder of Fountainhall in notes intended only for his own eye, and Fountainhall was no persecutor, but a man of Liberal ideas. In the long strife, almost all the virtues were in the camp of the Covenanters; almost all the vices haunted the council chamber, in which men were cruelly tortured.
