Le testament politique de Waldeck-Rousseau

The Political Testament of Waldeck-Rousseau

Charles Péguy

It is impossible to honestly follow the literary movement, the art movement, the political and social movement if one is not a subscriber to the Cahiers de la Quinzaine.

To know what the Cahiers de la Quinzaine are, it suffices to send a money order for three francs fifty to M. Andre Bourgeois, administrator of the cahiers, 8, rue de la Sorbonne, ground floor, Paris, fifth arrondissement. One will receive as specimens six cahiers from the second, third and fourth series.

To know what has appeared in the first five series of the cahiers, 1900-1904, send a money order for five francs to M. Andre Bourgeois, same address; one will receive in return the brief analytical catalogue, 1900-1904, of our first five series, first cahier of the sixth series, a very substantial cahier of XII + 408 very dense pages, 18mo grand-jesus, marked five francs.

To subscribe to the sixth series of the cahiers, which is the current series, send a money order for twenty francs to M. Andre Bourgeois, same address; one will receive in return the cahiers already published of this sixth series; then one will receive fortnightly, at their date, the cahiers to come; every person who subscribes to the sixth series thus automatically receives the first cahier of this series, which is the brief analytical catalogue of the first five series.

We published in our previous editions and in our first five series, 1900-1904, so great a number of texts and documents, and these texts and documents were so considerable that we cannot think of giving here even the most succinct statement of them; to know what has appeared in the first five series of the cahiers, it suffices to send a money order for five francs to M. Andre Bourgeois, administrator of the cahiers, 8, rue de la Sorbonne, ground floor, Paris, fifth arrondissement; one will receive in return the brief analytical catalogue, 1900-1904, of our first five series.

This catalogue was precisely established to give, as much as was possible, an image in brief, an abridgment, an idea, abbreviated but complete, of our previous editions and of our first five series; everything is classified there in order; it suffices to read it to find, in their place, the references requested.

This catalogue, 18mo grand-jesus, forms a very thick cahier of XII + 408 very dense pages, marked five francs; this cahier counted as the first cahier of the sixth series and our subscribers received it at its date, October 2, as the first cahier of the sixth series; every person who subscribes to the sixth series receives it, by the very fact of subscription, at the head of the series; we send it for a money order of five francs to any person who requests it.

We place the present cahier in the marketplace; fourth cahier of the sixth series; a yellow cahier of LII + 180 pages; we sell it for three francs fifty.
