Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Story of the Life of Mackay of Uganda [Told for Boys, i.e., written especially for boys--From Preface] is a biography of Alexander Murdoch Mackay (1849--90), a pioneering Scottish missionary to Uganda. Written by Mackay's sister, Alexina Mackay Harrison, and published in London in 1892, the book was intended to inspire boys to follow Mackay's example and devote their lives to service in Africa. It begins with a brief account of the early European explorers of Africa: Mungo Park, who in 1796 ventured up the River Niger; James Bruce, who in 1770 traced the Blue Nile to its source; and other explorers, including Speke, Grant, Stanley, and Livingstone. An account of Mackay's early life in Scotland follows, reporting the influence on him of a deeply religious and highly literate family, and his early commitment to preaching the Christian gospel. It recounts Mackay's studies in engineering at the University of Berlin, his learning German, and the close ties he developed with German church and missionary circles. In 1876, Mackay answered a call of the Church Missionary Society to serve in Uganda. He arrived in Africa in November 1878, where he spent nearly 14 years, never once returning to his native Scotland. The book describes Mackay's friendship with King Mutesa I of Buganda (reigned, 1856--84) and his difficulties under Mutesa's successor, King Mwanga, who fiercely persecuted the early Ugandan church. The concluding chapter recounts the work of Alfred R. Tucker, Anglican bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa in 1890--99 and first bishop of Uganda in 1899--1911, and of six early Ugandan Christians who continued Mackay's work after his death: Sembera Mackay, Henry Wright Duta, Mika Sematimba, Paulo Bakunga, Zachariah Kizito, and Yohann Mwira"--https://www.loc.gov/item/2021666837
Download or read book John Henry Mackay written by John Henry Mackay and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-05-04 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortly before his death in 1933, John Henry Mackay summed up his life and work in his final book, Summing Up—here in English for the first time with annotations by the translator, Hubert Kennedy. Mackay insisted that this book is not an autobiography or a memoirs—but it is the closest he came to either. In it he looks back on a long life of successes and—alas—mostly failures. But he has no regrets, for he remained true to himself and his early-gained vision of individualist anarchism. Although Mackay deliberately did not name persons here, many of those names and much other valuable information have been supplied by the editor, thus bringing us closer to the times recalled by the aging poet and propagandist. In a book written mostly in aphorisms, he sums up his life and work, his literary and political views, and—one year before the Nazi assumption of power in Germany—predicts the future influence of communism from the Soviet Union. This volume also includes Dear Tucker, Mackay’s letters to his American anarchist friend Benjamin R. Tucker, written in English since Tucker did not read German. Although one-sided—the letters from Tucker to Mackay were destroyed—the correspondence gives evidence of a life-long, warm friendship between the leading representatives of individualist anarchism in Germany and America respectively. The letters have been supplied with notes that identity the many persons mentioned in them, thus helping to place them historically. Of particular interest is the insight they give into Mackay’s literary struggle, under the pseudonym Sagitta, to promote the cause of love between men and boys. The letters reveal the ruthless opposition of the state in a classic example of the use of raw power to crush individual liberty. Together, Summing Up and Dear Tucker give us unexpected insights into the life and writings of John Henry Mackay. They help us better appreciate this Scotch-German lyricist, novelist, biographer, and anarchist propagandist whose writings are indeed so various that they escape classification.

Download or read book Mr Andrew Mackay and Ms Julie Kirkbride written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee on Standards and Privileges and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010-10-21 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr Andrew Mackay was MP for Berkshire East and then Bracknell from 1983 to 2010. His wife, Ms Julie Kirkbride, was MP for Bromsgrove from 1997 to 2010. They had homes in Bromsgrove and in London. For Parliamentary allowance purposes, the Bromsgrove property was Mr Mackay's declared main home and Ms Kirkbride's second home; the London property was Ms Kirkbride's declared main home and Mr Mackay's second home. In October 2009, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards received a complaint about the claims made by both Ms Kirkbride and Mr Mackay. The complaint against Mr Mackay was that he had wrongly identified the Bromsgrove property as his main home for the purposes of making ACA claims. The complaint against Ms Kirkbride was that she had wrongly claimed against ACA for the cost of building an extension to the same property. The complaint made against Ms Kirkbride is not upheld. Commissioner and Committee conclude, however, that Mr Andrew Mackay breached the rules relating to second home allowances by wrongly designating his home in Bromsgrove as his main home for ACA purposes and because his claims against ACA for his London home were not beyond reproach. The Committee is very disappointed that, even after seeing the Commissioner's full report, Mr Mackay maintains that he did not break the rules, when it is quite clear that he did. Mr Mackay, no longer a Member of Parliament, should apologise in writing.
