Algebra, chapter II, § 2. Modules of linear mappings. Duality

The dual of a free module with a basis of n elements is a free module with a basis of n elements.

Note that the dual of a free module with an infinite basis is not necessarily a free module (VII, § 3, Exercise 10).

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
