  • Name: Mackintosh, Sir James (of Kyllachy)
  • Gender: Male
  • Birth Date: 24  October  1765
  • Death Date: 30  May  1832
  • Occupation: political writer
  • Occupation: politician

Mackintosh was a radical Whig who was involved with the Society for Constitutional Information and the Society of Friends of the People in the early 1790s. He wrote an eloquent rebuttal of Burke's Reflections: Vindiciae Gallicae: a Defence of the French Revolution and its English Admirers (1791). However, later in the decade, disillusioned by violent events in France, he recanted his radicalism and spoke against Godwin in a series of lectures. His relationship with Godwin cooled, but it seems that after Mackintosh's return from India their friendship revived and Mackintosh was of considerable service to Godwin in his difficult later life.

Godwin records his death.
