    • 1885, Pierre Kropotkine, L’Esprit de révolte, Troisième partie:
      La brochure met à la portée de la grande masse les idées des philosophes et économistes, précurseurs de la révolution ; le pamphlet et la feuille volante font de l’agitation, en attaquant les trois ennemis principaux : le roi et sa cour, l’aristocratie, le clergé. Ils ne font pas de théories, c’est par la dérision qu’ils procèdent.
