Mackee, C. 15., a Presbyterian minister and educa- tor, was born in Indiana County, Pa., March 28, 1792; was educated at the University of Pennsylvania, stud- ied theology in the Seminary of the Reformed Presby- terian Church, Philadelphia, and was licensed by Phila- delphia Prcsbyterj^ in 1819, and ordaiiUMl in 1821. By untiring self-application he made himself a" thorough and critical sch<ilar, esjieci.Tlly in the ancient classics, ecclesiastical history. Biblical literature, and theology. In 1824 he was chosen professor of languages in Cincin- nati College, Ohio, which position he held until 1835, when he accepted a call as pastor of a church in Roches-
ter, N. Y. ; in 1861 he removed to Washington, D. C, to accept an appointment in the government service. He died June 5, 1866. Mr. Mackee was a man of great con- scientiousness, a profound scholar, a close thinker, and an instructor with rare capabilities for imparting knov/1- edge. He published a small volume entitled A Critical Examination of the Offices of Christ. See Wilson, Presh, Hist. Almanac, 1868, p. 117. (J. L. S.)
Mackellar, Angus, a Presbyterian minister, was born in Scotland near the close of the 18th century, was ordained to the charge of Carmunnock, in the west of Scotland, in 1812, accepted a call to Pencaitland in 1814, was moderator of the Church of Scotland in 1840, and when the disruption came was one of the acknowledged leaders of the Free Church. On leaving his country parish he removed to Edinburgh, and for some years exercised a sort of general superintendence over the missionary and educational interests of the Church. He was moderator of the Assemblj^ of the Free Church in Scotland in 1852. He died May 11, 1859. See Wilson, Presh. Hist. A Imunac, 1860, p. 263. (J. L. S.)
Mackenzie, Charles Frederick, D,D., a prel- ate of the Church of England, and one of the noblest characters of our day, was bom at Harcus Cottage, Pee- bleshire, Scotland, April 10, 1825, and was educated at Cambridge University, where he graduated with lionor in 1848. After lecturing for a time at his alma mater, he decided upon the ministrj', and was ordained by the bishop of Ely, and labored for some time in England as a parish minister. In 1854, bishop Selwyn, of New Zea- land, returned to England, and pleaded earnestly for more laborers in the missionary field. Mackenzie felt l)ersuaded that his duty lay in this direction, and in 1855 he accepted the position of archdeacon of Natal, and went out with the noted Colenso. His zeal in this new field, and his exemplary piety, are attested by all who knew IMackenzie at this time. In 1859 he returned to England to propose the establishment of other missions in Africa. Livingstone had just pKeceded him on a visit to England, and personally, as well as bj' the publica- tion of his book on Central Africa, had awakened an unprecedented enthusiasm for that country-. The estab- lishment of a mission on the ground lately explored by Livingstone had just been determined upon, and Mac- kenzie's arrival at this time led to his appointment as the head of it. He was consequently consecrated bish- op at Cape Town Jan. 1, 1861 ; four days after he sailed for the Zambesi, and, after some necessarj- cxiilorations, settled for his work at a village named Magomero. The climate, which in his former work he had withstood so weU, here soon undermined his health, and he died Jan. 31, 1862. "In any calling Mackenzie would have been distinguished for his fine natural qualities. His cheerfulness, gentleness, and simplicity, supported as they were by manly candor and enduring firmness of purpose, and guided by an innate purity and integrity that shrank from the faintest touch of wrong, could not fail to excite the admiration of the most worldly-minded. Consecrated as these qualities were to the .service of re- ligion, and warmed by a glowing zeal that had nothing in common with fanaticism, they assume something like heroic proportions. Nor are the battles he fouglit, the victories he won, the sacrifices he made, for the great objects to which he devoted his life, and the sufferings he endured, unworthy of a record among the achieve- ments of England's illustrious sons." The Christian spirit which the bishop manifested towards bis Christian brethren of other churches is worthy of special mention. He labored in concurrence with them with cordiality and good will. His opposition to the slave-trade was decided, and made liini many enemies.

educated at St. Leonard's College. He deserves our no- tice, first, for his Religio Siuici, or a short Discourse upon several Divine and Moral Subjects (1663) ; his Moral Essay ujjon Solitude (1G65) ; and his Moral Gal- lantry (1667) ; and also on account of his unhappy con- nection with the government of Charles II as criminal prosecutor in the memorable days of the Covenant. By his severity in this position he earned for himself the ugly name of the " bluidy Mackenzie ;" nor, we fear, can it be disproved — in spite of his liberal antecedents — that he became a willing instrument of despotism. He has, however, written a defence of himself, entitled A Vindi- cation of the Government of Charles 11. After the Rev- olution Sir George retired to Oxford. He died in Lon- don May 2, 1691.
