Il est indispensable de donner à cette question la précision que réclame son importance et, par conséquent, de décrire le peuplement indigène de l’Algérie, tel qu’il était, antérieurement à l’occupation française, et avant que le contact de la civilisation l’ait modifié. Les Musulmans de l’Algérie sont improprement appelés Arabes, ou arbitrairement divisés, selon qu’ils sont sédentaires ou nomades, en Berbères et Arabes. Il convient d’établir, dès maintenant, que Berbères autochtones et Arabes conquérants se sont si intimement et si complètement pénétrés, à peu près partout, qu’ils ne forment plus qu’un seul et même peuple ; que rien ne les sépare désormais, et que tout tend à les confondre de plus en plus. Fruit d’une sélection réalisée au sein des fonds de la Bibliothèque nationale de France, Collection XIX a pour ambition de faire découvrir des textes classiques et moins classiques dans les meilleures éditions du XIXe siècle.
