Note 380 — Chapter X
Reading edition
It is constantly called (and I fear I have myself sinned in this respect) L'Affaire Clémenceau. But this is not the proper title, and does not really fit. It is the heading of a client's instruction—a sort of irregular "brief"—to the advocate who (resp. fin.) is to defend him; and is thus an autobiographic narrative (diversified by a few "put-in" letters) throughout. The title is the label of the brief.
