Notes

The latest biography is P. O’Leary, Sir James Mackintosh: the Whig Cicero (1989), which, though useful in many respects, is weak on politics and carries no scholarly apparatus. See also Mems. of Sir James Mackintosh ed. R.J. Mackintosh (1836) and J. Rendall, ‘The Political Ideas and Activities of Sir James Mackintosh (1765-1832): a Study in Whiggism between 1789 and 1832’ (London Univ. Ph.D. thesis, 1972). This article draws extensively on Mackintosh’s journals, which are in the form of letters to his wife, 1820, 1821-3, 1825-8 (Add. 52444, 52445, 52447).
