Brustb. von vorn, Kopf nach hr. gewandt, vor (l.) Vorhang. Unten 8zeil. engl. Legende „SIR JAMES MACKINTOSH. | This eminent lawyer, able writer, and enlightened legislater, was born in 1765, in | the parish of Dorish, in the county of Inverness. He is not only one of the first writers of the age, but he is also a first-rate speaker. When recorder of Bombay | he frequently displayed such talents for oratory, as called forth the admiration | both of Europeans and natives. His exertions on the queen’s affair, his speeches on the penal laws, and his report of the committee of which he | was chairman, raise him above our praise.“
