Excerpt from Amiel's Journal: The Journal Intime of Henri-Frédéric Amiel Introduction and Notes Amongst ourselves, although the Journal has attracted the atten tion of all who keep a vigilant eye on the progress of foreign litera ture, and although one or two appreciative articles have appeared on it in the magazines, the book has still to become generally known. One remarkable English testimony to it, however, must be quoted. Six months after the publication of the first volume, the late Mark Pattison, who since then has himself bequeathed to literature a strange and memorable fragment of autobiography, addressed a letter to M. Scherer as the editor of the Journal Intime, which M. Scherer has since published, nearly a year after the death of the writer. The words have a strong and melancholy interest for all who knew Mark Pattison and they certainly deserve a place in any attempt to estimate the impression already made on contemporary thought by the Journal Intime.
