Excerpt from La Fondation de la Croix-Rouge: M???moire Pr???sent??? au Comit??? International Le Souvenir de Solferino. ??? son apparition, ne fut point mis en vente mais distribu??? lib???ralement par l'au teur, et j'en re???us moi-m???me un exemplaire ??? titre gracieux.

Je provoquai donc dans son sein un d???bat sur ce sujet, et je le mis ??? l'ordre du jour de la s???ance du 9 f???vrier 1863.
