  53. The

  55. published in Edinburgh, Scotland.&nbsp; The letters are addressed to
  56. particular anonymous characters (who can be identified by their actions and
  57. reputations within the letters) by an anonymous writer.&nbsp;&nbsp; The
  58. letters critique and scold.&nbsp; In the first, to Lieutenant General
  59. B***, Mackenzie reminds the General of his own past to curb his
  60. political activities and criticisms of others.&nbsp; </font></p>
  61. <p><font face="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans serif" size="-1">The
  62. Mackenzie letters by coincidence or happenstance share the same
  63. pseudonym with letters written by Robert Yates in the United States during the same period.&nbsp;
  64. Yates addressed his letters &quot;To the citizens of the State of New-York&quot;
  65. and wrote to espouse a strong anti-Federalist stance.&nbsp; Yates'
  66. letters were published in the <i>New York Journal</i> from October 1787
  67. to April 1788.&nbsp; It is certainly possible that Mackenzie heard of
  68. them, even if he did not read them.&nbsp; It is also possible that he
  69. had no knowledge of the &quot;other&quot; Brutus.</font></p>
  70. <p><font face="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans serif" size="-1">Marcus
  71. Junius Brutus Caepio (85 BC &#8211; 42 BC) was, of course, the protégé who
  72. helped to kill Caesar.&nbsp; He can be seen as one who would betray
  73. trust, but he is also an icon of resisting strong centralized power.&nbsp;
  74. He feared for the future of the Republic of Rome, as Caesar declared
  75. himself Emperor and worked to limit the powers of the Senate.&nbsp; He
  76. was forced to flee Rome because those who had supported Caesar and his
  77. goals still held power.&nbsp; Thus, he is also symbolic of those who
  78. must be careful as they feint and parry with words for fear of reprisal.&nbsp;
  79. He has also lent another name to authors who write in fear -- Junius.&nbsp;
  80. In the Advertisement for <i>Letters of Brutus</i> there is a reference
  81. to an earlier Junius (wrote 1767 through 1772), and during the World War I a Junius Pamphlet
  82. (written by Rosa Luxemburg while in prison) gave
  83. a vivid account of the abuse of power.&nbsp; (see resources below).</font></p>
  84. <p><font face="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans serif" size="-1">
  85. Mackenzie probably didn't have to fear for his life when he wrote, but
  86. the open critiques which he leveled could certainly have been met with
  87. reprisals.&nbsp; He was not one to mince words, he said of Thomas Paine,
  88. &quot;He possesses that vulgar eloquence which a vigorous mind untutored by
  89. classical education, and unrestrained by delicacy or taste, has an
  90. advantage in exhibiting; and he derives credit from the very want of
  91. qualities which finer minds are at pains to cultivate . . .&quot;&nbsp; Like
  92. the Brutus in America at the time, Mackenzie was a conservative who
  93. mistrusted centralized power and mistrusted those who held either power
  94. or popularity.</font></p>
