Excerpt from What Is Property?: First Memoir; An Inquiry Into the Principle of Right and of Government

It has always been large, especially since he became so celebrated and, to tell the truth, I am persuaded that. In the future, the correspond ence of Proudhon will be his principal, vital work, and that most of his books will be only accessory to and corroborative of this. At any rate, his books can be well understood only by the aid of his letters and the continual explanations which he makes to those who consult him in their doubt, and request him to define more clearly his position.

There are, among celebrated people, many methods of correspond ence. There are those to whom letter-writing is a bore, and who, assailed with questions and compliments, reply in the greatest haste, solely that the job may be over with, and who return politeness for polite ness, mingling it with more or less wit. This kind of correspondence, though coming from celebrated people, is insignificant and unworthy of collection and classification.
