À. Cette préposition est souvent employée deux fois pour un même régime ou complément1, et c'est alors une faute.

A Bibliographical, Antiquarian and Picturesque Tour in France and Germany, Volume One Thomas Frognall Dibdin Genre: Reference Publish Date: 31 December 1846 Publisher: Public Domain Seller: Public Domain

The population of Rouen is supposed to be full one hundred thousand souls. In truth, there is no end to the succession of human beings. They swarm like bees, and like bees are busy in bringing home the produce of their industry. You have all the bustle and agitation of Cheapside and Cornhill; only that the ever-moving scene is carried on within limits one-half as broad.

A Bibliographical, Antiquarian and Picturesque Tour in France and Germany, Volume Two Thomas Frognall Dibdin Genre: Reference Publish Date: 31 December 1846 Publisher: Public Domain Seller: Public Domain

This will remind you of Jervas’s celebrated piece of nonsensical flattery to himself—­when, on Pope’s complimenting that artist upon one of his portraits, he compassionately exclaimed “Poor little Tit!” Surely all these national prejudices are as unwise as they are disgusting. Of Gerard, I would wish to speak with respect; but an artist, who receives from fifteen to twenty thousand francs for the painting of a whole length portrait, stands upon an eminence which exposes him to the observation of every man. In the same degree, also, does his elevation provoke the criticism of every man.

Soll die plattdeutsche Sprache gepflegt oder ausgerottet werden? Ludolf Wienbarg Genre: Foreign Languages Publish Date: 31 December 1871 Publisher: Public Domain Seller: Public Domain

Wenn die Patrioten bisher über die Kluft der Stände, die Rohheit und Unempfänglichkeit Volkes in Niedersachsen mit Recht bittere Klage führten, oder im Großen Verbesserungspläne entwarfen, so stand ihnen die niedersächsische oder plattdeutsche Volkssprache nur sehr im Hintergrunde und kam weder im Guten, noch im Bösen so recht in Betracht. Ich glaube nachzuweisen, ja mit Händen greiflich zu machen, daß sie die Wurzel alles Übels, der Hemmschuh alles Bessern ist. Gehe hin, meine kleine Schrift, und spreche! Drei Dinge wünsche ich dir, Flügel, Feinde und Freunde. Die Flügel wünsche ich dir, damit du dich nach allen Seiten verbreitest, die Feinde und Freunde, damit du nach alten Seiten besprochen wirst.

Thomas Hariot, the Mathematician, the Philosopher and the Scholar Henry Stevens Genre: Reference Publish Date: 31 December 1885 Publisher: Public Domain Seller: Public Domain

This is a historical book. He anticipated the law of refraction, corresponded with Kepler, observed comets, and may have been the first to recognize that the straight line paths of comets might be segments of elongated ellipses. The lost ‘ephemera’ referred to in the text have since been found (since 1876) and a conference was held in 1970 at the University of Delaware on the current state of Hariot research, the proceedings of which have been published by the Oxford University Press, where one may find a fairly current view of the historical record.
