    J . Michelct , * Mon Journal , 1820-23 / may be called a series of literary memoranda arranged in chronological order . These are followed by a list of the books which were read by the

    celebrated historian from June 1818 to February 1829 . From this time , Michelet ceased , he says , to take note of his historical readings , his

    choice being no longer free , as special readings were required for the epochs he was engaged in writing upon . The volume closes with an Examen des ' Vies des Homines illustres ' of

    Plutarch , an essay required for the grade of doctor in 1819 .
