Om Amiel's Journal
Mary Augusta Ward (1851 - 1920) was a British novelist who published under her married name Mrs. Humphry Ward. She was best known in Great Britain and the United States for her novels Lady Rose's Daughter and The Marriage of William Ashe. Her novels often contained strong religious content, but she first began her career writing articles for Macmillan's Magazine, and then publishing a children's book titled Milly and Olly. She was also, during World War I, employed by President Theodore Roosevelt to write a number of articles for the American public that would detail the course of the war in Britain. Henri Frederic Amiel (1821 - 1880) was born in Geneva, Switzerland, and was a moral philosopher as well as a poet and critic. This collection contains both volumes of Amiel's journal, as well as a number of new passages taken from the last French edition.
