How to recover safari history from time machine?

Hi guys,

I need your help ... I use time machine for the backup and I cancelled the history of Safari few days ago and now I need to recover it.

Where and how can I find it among the time machine files?

I have already read some suggestions in the web that told me to find it in the user/Library/Safari/History but I can't find any Safary folder in my Library :-(

Many thanks in advance

OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

Triple-click the text on the line below to the clipboard, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):


~/Library/Safari/History.plist


Quit Safari. Disable Safari synchronization in iCloud, if applicable.


Select


Go Go to Folder


from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.


A folder window should open with a file named "History.plist" selected. Restore the file from a backup that predates the unwanted changes. If you disabled sync, re-enable it and test.
