Mackintosh, Sir James
Mackintosh, Sir James (1765–1832), author of Vindiciae Gallicae (1791), a reasoned defence of the French Revolution. Mackintosh later recanted his views. He published a Dissertation on the Progress of Ethical Philosophy (1830) and wrote the first three volumes of a History of England (1830–1) for Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopaedia, as well as an unfinished History of the Revolution in England in 1688 (1834).
