"As to his literary talent," says M. Scherer, after dwelling on the rapid growth of his intellectual powers under German influence, "the profit which Amiel derived from his stay at Berlin is more doubtful.
Amiel, the mayor, having first ascertained as a medical man and anatomist that the relics contained the bones of seventeen human skeletons of both sexes and all ages, ordered them all to be reinterred in the parish cemetery. In 1860, M. Lartet, a distinguished French savan, examined thoroughly the remaining contents of the cavern and its surroundings and approaches.
Amiel Toots exclaimed, in thick accents, as though his fright had become such as to seriously interfere with the working of his vocal cords. Max waited no longer. He knew that the boat, drifting down with the current, was now exactly opposite to him.
Hamburg was, however, threatened with another danger, for Major Amiel expressed his intention of entering with all his prisoners, notwithstanding the acknowledged neutrality of the town. Amiel was a partisan leader in the true sense of the word; he fought rather on his own account than with the intention of contributing to the success of the operations of the army.
Major Wells brought from below upstairs. Received from Mr. Curson per Mr. Amiel four guineas, six bottles of wine, and one lb tobacco. Mr. Pintard carried list of prisoners and account of grievances to the General Capt. Chatham and others carried to dungeon. Yesterday a number of soldiers were sent below, and several prisoners brought out of dungeon.
Turn that other pocket inside-out, Amiel Toots. You did expect to make a fine haul here, didn't you? Instead of helping the poor old man save his stock you thought you might as well have it as the water. Are you all through? Then break away, and good riddance to the lot of you for a pack of cowards and thieves!"
And if we take Amiel at his own word, we must suppose that but for causes, the chief of which were bad health and a not long life, he too would have produced monumental work, whose scope and character he would wish us to conjecture from his "Thoughts." Such indications there certainly are in them.
"I can see trees, and I think some rocks," said a third one, undoubtedly Amiel Toots; for he had a soft oily voice, just as Amiel was a soft oily boy, treacherous by nature, and only faithful to Ted because he really feared the big bully.
Menaces of Prussia Offer for restoring Hanover to England Insolent ultimatum Commencement of hostilities between France and Prussia Battle of Auerstadt Death of the Duke of Brunswick Bernadotte in Hamburg Davonet and Bernadotte The Swedes at Lubeck Major Amiel Service rendered to the English Minister at Hamburg My appointment of Minister for the King of Naples New regulation of the German post-office The Confederation of the North Devices of the Hanse Towns Occupation of Hamburg in the name of the Emperor Decree of Berlin The military governors of Hamburg Brune, Michaud, and Bernadotte.
All the main ideas of the novel were already there. Elsmere was to be the exponent of a freer faith; Catharine had been suggested by an old friend of my youth; while Langham was the fruit of my long communing with the philosophic charm and the tragic impotence of Amiel. I began the book in the early summer of 1885, and thenceforward it absorbed me until its appearance in 1888.
