Integration, chapter VIII, § 1. Convolution

Let X,Y,ZX, Y, Z be locally compact spaces, φ\varphi a continuous mapping of X×YX \times Y into ZZ, and λ,μ\lambda, \mu measures on X,YX, Y. For λ\lambda and μ\mu to be φ\varphi-convolvable, it is necessary and sufficient that the mapping (x,y)↦εφ(x,y)=εx∗εy(x, y) \mapsto \varepsilon_{\varphi(x,y)} = \varepsilon_x * \varepsilon_y of X×YX \times Y into M(Z)\mathscr{M}(Z) be scalarly (λ⊗μ)(\lambda \otimes \mu)-integrable for the topology σ(M(Z),H(Z))\sigma(\mathscr{M}(Z), \mathscr{H}(Z)), in which case

λ∗μ=∫X×Y(εx∗εy) dλ(x) dμ(y). \lambda * \mu = \int_{X \times Y} (\varepsilon_x * \varepsilon_y) \, d\lambda(x) \, d\mu(y).

To say that λ\lambda and μ\mu are φ\varphi-convolvable signifies that, for every f∈H(Z)f \in \mathscr{H}(Z), f∘φf \circ \varphi is (λ⊗μ)(\lambda \otimes \mu)-integrable, that is, for every f∈H(Z)f \in \mathscr{H}(Z) the function (x,y)↦⟨f,εφ(x,y)⟩(x, y) \mapsto \langle f, \varepsilon_{\varphi(x,y)} \rangle is (λ⊗μ)(\lambda \otimes \mu)-integrable, that is, again, that the mapping (x,y)↦εφ(x,y)(x, y) \mapsto \varepsilon_{\varphi(x,y)} of X×YX \times Y into M(Z)\mathscr{M}(Z) is scalarly (λ⊗μ)(\lambda \otimes \mu)-integrable for σ(M(Z),K(Z))\sigma(\mathscr{M}(Z), \mathscr{K}(Z)). If this is the case, then

⟨λ∗μ,f⟩=∫f(φ(x,y))dλ(x)dμ(y)=∫X×Y⟨εφ(x,y),f⟩dλ(x)dμ(y), \langle \lambda * \mu, f \rangle = \int f(\varphi(x, y)) d\lambda(x) d\mu(y) = \int_{X \times Y} \langle \varepsilon_{\varphi(x,y)}, f \rangle d\lambda(x) d\mu(y),

whence λ∗μ=∫X×Yεφ(x,y)dλ(x)dμ(y)\lambda * \mu = \int_{X \times Y} \varepsilon_{\varphi(x,y)} d\lambda(x) d\mu(y).

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