Scottish botanist Thomas Blaikie (1751–1838), a favourite of Marie Antoinette, designed the most famous gardens in France. From 1775 to 1792, he kept a diary which gives a unique insight into the social history of revolutionary France. Published in 1931, it was edited by journalist Francis Birrell (1889–1935).
