It Was In The Last Days Of December, 1882, That The First Volume Of
Henri Frédéric Amiel's "Journal Intime" Was Published At Geneva. The
Book, Of Which The General Literary World Knew Nothing Prior To Its
Appearance, Contained A Long And Remarkable Introduction From The Pen Of
M. Edmond Scherer, The Well-Known French Critic, Who Had Been For Many
Years One Of Amiel's Most Valued Friends, And It Was Prefaced Also By A
Little _Avertissement_, In Which The "Editors"--That Is To Say, The
Genevese Friends To Whom The Care And Publication Of The Journal Had
Been In The First Instance Entrusted--Described In A Few Reserved And
Sober Words The Genesis And Objects Of The Publication. Some Thousands
Of Sheets Of Journal, Covering A Period Of More Than Thirty Years, Had
Come Into The Hands Of Amiel's Literary Heirs. "They Were Written," Said
The _Avertissement_, "With Several Ends In View. Amiel Recorded In Them
His Various Occupations, And The Incidents Of Each Day. He Preserved In
Them His Psychological Observations, And The Impressions Produced On Him
By Books. But His Journal Was, Above All, The Confidant Of His Most
Private And Intimate Thoughts; A Means Whereby The Thinker Became
Conscious Of His Own Inner Life; A Safe Shelter Wherein His Questionings
Of Fate And The Future, The Voice Of Grief, Of Self-Examination And
Confession, The Soul's Cry For Inward Peace, Might Make Themselves
Freely Heard.
