Secret Journal Of A Self-Observer

The Secret Journal Of A Self-Observer: Or Confessions And Familiar Letters Of The Rev. J. C. Lavater is a book written by Johann Caspar Lavater and originally published in 1795. The book is a collection of personal writings, including confessions and letters, that provide insight into the life and thoughts of the author.Lavater was a Swiss theologian, poet, and philosopher who is best known for his work in physiognomy, the study of facial features and their relation to character. In this book, however, Lavater turns his attention inward and shares his personal experiences, struggles, and reflections.The book is divided into two parts. The first part is Lavater's secret journal, in which he records his thoughts and feelings about his own life and experiences. He is candid about his doubts, fears, and weaknesses, and he reflects on his relationships with family, friends, and colleagues.The second part of the book is a collection of letters that Lavater wrote to his friends and colleagues. These letters provide further insight into his personality and beliefs, as well as his relationships with others.Throughout the book, Lavater's writing is introspective and reflective. He grapples with questions of faith, morality, and human nature, and he is not afraid to confront his own flaws and shortcomings. Despite the personal nature of the writing, however, Lavater's insights and observations have broader implications for readers interested in philosophy, psychology, and the human condition.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
