    “I had the courage, rare in all times, especially in ours, to express, in a loud and clear voice, what many think and confess in secret. It would be a justice the reader would render me if I were to examine here, before their very eyes, the bundles of correspondence. What I have said about matters of social economy and the moral weakening of our country is but the faithful, though weakened, echo of the confidences (far more unnerving than my own) of those who reproach me less for having lost hope than for having spoken of it. Several of those who were astounded by what I publicly predicted for the future and for France, as if it were blasphemy, had poured into me, day by day and drop by drop, for fifteen years, the melancholy and despair that overflowed all at once when the heart was full.” (excerpt from the preface to the second edition).
