He was sometimes described as the Addison of the North. While Mackenzie is now mostly remembered as an author, his principal income came from legal roles, leading in 1804-1831 to a lucrative post as Comptroller of Taxes for Scotland, which allowed him to indulge his interest in writing (Wikipedia).
