Bibliography
Mackenzie was a Scot who entered the English novitiate of the Society of Jesus under the alias Alexander Clinton, under which he also published all his works. He was a long-time collaborator with the French Jesuit Jean-Nicolas Grou (1731-1803), of whose work this is a translation. Morality Extracted comprises a series of extended reflections on moral theology grouped under excerpts from the Confessions. Despite Mackenzie's close relationship with Bp. Challoner, he did not use Challoner's version of the Confessions for this work. It thus constitutes a new, though partial, English translation.
