Ferdinand BRUNETIÈRE (1849-1906). Autograph manuscript, Après le Procès. Avertissement, [1898]; 65 pages in-4 with erasures and corrections (some in red ink). On the Dreyfus Affair. This long article, which was used for the composition, is totally different from the one published under this title by the Revue des deux mondes on March 15, 1898. "One can undoubtedly be flattered by this, although it is rather unphilosophical, but one is sometimes quite astonished by the fuss one makes. For nearly six months, everyone in France and even abroad had been explaining themselves about the Dreyfus affair with unbridled freedom. I will explain myself in my turn, and not having a personal opinion, because I have not had the means to form one, I will not touch the Dreyfus Affair. I speak in four words of the Zola affair only to have a pretext to speak of something else, and not considering that there is any proportion between what is seen of the affair and the emotion it has raised, I say so. I then look for the real causes"... In 27 points, he evokes anti-Semitism, the history of the notion of race, socialism, the role of intellectuals, etc.
