Albert Daney". Afin d'obtenir extérieurement une série suivie, le propriétaire qui ne disposait pas du premier tome des oeuvres a corrigé la page de titre du premier volume, ainsi que celle du troisième tome et second volume, et a rajouté un autre exemplaire du troisième tome, avant de faire relier l'ensemble en indiquant en dos des volumes une numérotation suivie et certes plus élégante allant de 1 à 9 ! On propose donc une jolie série décorative, dédicacée par le Cardinal Ferdinand Donnet, archevêque de Bordeaux de 1837 à 1882, et réunissant les tomes 2 à 9, en 9 volumes (le tome 3 étant en double).

1 vol. in-12 br., Au Sillon, Paris, s.d. [ circa 1907 ], VIII-309 pp. Rare exemplaire de cette édition originale, qui évoque ce "plus grand Sillon", lancé par Marc Sangnier en février 1907, visant à « réaliser un nouveau centre d’unité morale » en ralliant « toutes les forces qu’anime consciemment ou inconsciemment l’esprit chrétien » (protestants ou libres penseurs). On joint une très intéressante lettre tapuscrite signée de René Lemaire, à en-tête de la caisse ouvrière du Sillon d'Epernay, qui évoque le développement du Sillon dans son secteur, de l'attitude de l'Eglise et des évêques, soutiens ou opposants au Sillon, et parle de Marc Sangnier que le rédacteur de la missive a rencontré plusieurs fois. Bon exemplaire (cachet d'ex-libris). Français
