Extrait: "Parmi les systèmes dont nous avons à retracer l'histoire, le premier, non seulement en date, mais encore en importance, est celui de Saint-Simon. Conçu, comme tous les autres, sous l'influence du sensualisme du dix-huitième siècle, produit par un esprit mobile et inconsistant, mais large et prime-sautier, il se développa péniblement durant l'Empire, recruta quelques adhérents dès le commencement de la Restauration et enleva, vers...
