Excerpt from Annals of Botany, 1898, Vol. 12 In 1816 Sir Samuel Bentham organized at Paris a caravan tour in France for himself and family. The caravan consisted of a two-horse coach fitted up as a sleeping-room, a one-horse spring van furnished with a library and piano, for himself and Mrs. Bentham, and another for his daughters and their governess. Thus equipped they travelled by day, visiting friends and places of interest, bivouacking by night in gipsy fashion in the gardens of friends, or in the precincts of the prefectures, to which he brought credentials from Paris. In this way he visited Orlc'ans, Tours, Angouleme, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Montpellier, and finally Montauban, where the caravan having broken down, the tour was continued by ordinary conveyances to Carcassonne, Narbonne, N imes, Tarascon, Marseilles, Toulon, and Hyeres.
