Offer To Dr. Kuyper.
On March 25th I addressed the following registered letter to Dr. Kuyper:
March 25th, 1900.
Sir,
I have the honour to send you the numbers of Le Siècle containing a criticism of your article, "La Crise Sud-Africaine," which appeared in the Revue des Deux Mondes.
In order to present the pros and cons to the reader at one and the same time, I ask you to agree to the following proposition: I offer to publish in one pamphlet your article and my reply. I undertake to pay the cost and if there should be any profits to divide them with you.
By accepting this proposal you will show that you are as convinced of the solidity of your arguments as I am of the solidity of mine.
