Small Area Of Light Damp-Spotting At Part Of Top And Bottom Of Most Pages, No Waviness To Pages. Émile Jean-Marie Gautier (1853 – 1937) Was An Anarchist And Later A Journalist.

Other Delegates Included Peter Kropotkin, Errico Malatesta, Saverio Merlino, Louise Michel And Marie Le Compte. While Respecting "Complete Autonomy Of Local Groups" The Congress Defined Propaganda Actions That All Could Follow And Agreed That "Propaganda By The Deed" Was The Path To Social Revolution. He Was Implicated During The Trial Of Peter Kropotkin, And On 19 January 1883 Was Sentenced By The Criminal Court Of Lyon To Five Years In Prison. On 15 August 1885 He Was Pardoned. Renouncing Political Activism, Gautier Worked At Various Newspapers, Including L'écho De Paris, (Where He Met Octave Mirbeau), And Le Figaro, Where He Published "Documentary Chronicles". These Were Published As A Collection In 1992 Under The Title Les Étapes De La Science (Steps Of Science). According To The Historian Of Social Thought Mike Hawkins, Emile Gautier Was The First To Use The Term "Social Darwinism" In His Pamphlet Of The Same Name Published In 1880 In Paris. He Became A Well-Known Popular Science Writer. His 1902 Fleur De Bagne (Prison Flowers), Written With His Childhood Friend Marie-François Goron, Was An Ancestor Of Techno-Thrillers And Crime Dramas With Science Themes.
