Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Charles Kenneth Mackenzie (1788–1862) was a Scottish diplomat, writer and journalist.
Life
He was the eldest son of Kenneth Francis Mackenzie,[1] who had plantation interests in the West Indies, and at the time of Fedon's Rebellion acted as president of the council in Grenada;[2] there are sources stating that Charles Mackenzie would have been classified as a Negro in the USA.[3] Colin Mackenzie was his brother.
He was educated at the University of Edinburgh, where he befriended James Cowles Prichard,[1] and served in the Peninsular War. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1815.[4] He then edited a conservative evening paper, Albion.[1]
Subsequently, he was a diplomat in Mexico, Haiti and Cuba;[4] in Haiti at least he did intelligence work.[5] Returning to England, he wrote for The Metropolitan Magazine, under the editorship of Cyrus Redding.[1]
During the latter part of his life he lived mostly in the United States, where he died on 6 July 1862 at a fire at the Rainbow Hotel on Beekman Street[6] in New York City.[4]
Mackenzie collected plants for August Grisebach and William Jackson Hooker.[4]
Works
Mackenzie published Notes on Haiti in two volumes (1830), based on his period 1826–7 as British consul there, and including both economic statistics and social observations.[7] Parts were republished shortly by John Brown Russwurm, to publicise the Haitian Revolution.[8]
