His mother, a genuine peasant, was a common servant. She was an orderly person of great good sense; and, as they who knew her say, a superior woman of HEROIC character,  to use the expression of the venerable M. Weiss, the librarian at Besancon. She it was especially that Proudhon resembled: she and his grandfather Tournesi, the soldier peasant of whom his mother told him, and whose courageous deeds he has described in his work on "Justice." HIS MOTHER A GENUINE PEASANT WAS A COMMON SERVANT SHE WAS AN ORDERLY PERSON OF GREAT GOOD SENSE AND AS THEY WHO KNEW HER SAY A SUPERIOR WOMAN OF HEROIC CHARACTER TO USE THE EXPRESSION OF THE VENERABLE MONSIEUR WEISS THE LIBRARIAN AT A POSSES SHE IT WAS ESPECIALLY WHOM PRUDENCE RESEMBLED SHE AND HIS GRANDFATHER JOURNEZIE THE SOLDIER PEASANT OF WHOM HIS MOTHER TOLD HIM AND WHOSE COURAGEOUS DEEDS HE HAS DESCRIBED IN HIS WORK ON JUSTICE
guage is complete, and he never fails to avail himself of it. Now and then a coarse word, a few personalities, too bitter and quite unjust or injurious, will have to be suppressed in printing; time, however, as it passes away, permits many things and renders them inoffensive. Am I right in saying that Proudhon's correspondence, always substantial, will one day be the most accessible and attractive portion of his works?" Almost the whole of Proudhon's real biography is included in his correspondence. Up to 1837, the date of the first letter which we have been able to collect, his life, narrated by Sainte Beuve, from whom we make numerous extracts, may be summed up in a few pages. Pierre Joseph Proudhon was born on the 15th of January, 1809, in a suburb of Besancon, called Mouillere. His father and mother were employed in the great brewery belonging to M. Renaud. His father, though a cousin of the jurist Proudhon, the celebrated professor in the faculty of Dijon, was a journeyman brewer.
