Memoirs of
Extraordinary Popular Delusions
and the
Madness of Crowds
Charles Mackay, LL.D.
Office of the National Illustrated Library, London — 1852
N'en déplaise à ces fous nommés sages de Grèce,
En ce monde il n'est point de parfaite sagesse;
Tous les hommes sont fous, et malgré tous leurs soîns
Ne diffèrent entre eux que du plus ou du moins.
— Boileau
