Every journal and the experiences which fomed the basis of every journal reflected individual and unique happenings, and it yould be pointless to try to select one which was a common denominator.

Furthermore, he emerges from his narrative as a person worth knowing, a man who consciously and unconsciously reveals much that is amusing and significant about charactor." from the Introduction.
