Paul BOURGET (1852-1935). Autograph manuscript signed, Quelques problèmes d'aujourd'hui. Pour l'Intelligence Française, [September 1919]; 3 1/4 pages in-4. Manuscript with erasures and corrections of this article collected in Volume II of Nouvelles Pages de critique et de doctrine (1922). In it, Bourget denounces the threats to the independence of intelligence, particularly from the rise of communism... And he concludes: "Yes, we are defending a French frontier, by defending French intelligence, and those who work with their heads, against the misguidedness of those who work with their arms. The fatherland is all of them, and by hurting each other, they're hurting her." Former collection of Colonel Daniel Sickles (XVI 6684).
