Mackintosh was a Scottish liberal politician initially sympathetic to the French Revolution, who rejected Burke's Reflections, arguing that both France and Britain needed reform, though he later reconsidered this view. His Historical Sketch, published in 1792, outlines the origins of the Revolution and its course to the end of 1791.
