Algebra, chapter III, § 2. Examples of algebras

Let I be a set and F an algebra (resp. unital associative algebra, resp. unital commutative associative algebra) over A. For every mapping f:I→Ff : I \to F, there exists one and only one homomorphism (resp. unital homomorphism) fˉ\bar{f} of LibA(I) (resp. Libas_A(I), resp. Libasc_A(I)) into F such that fˉ(Xi)=f(i)\bar{f}(X_i) = f(i) for all i∈Ii \in I.*

Let FmF_m be the magma (resp. monoid) obtained by giving the set F its multiplicative law of composition. There is one and only one homomorphism (resp. unital homomorphism) gg of M(I) (resp. Mo(I), resp. N(I)\mathbf{N}^{(I)}) into FmF_m such that g(i)=f(i)g(i) = f(i) for all i∈Ii \in I (I, § 7, nos. 1, 2 and 7); Proposition 7 then follows from no. 6, Proposition 6.

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