Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter I, § 1. Definition of Lie algebras

Let g be a Lie algebra and x an element of g. The linear mapping y↦[x,y]y \mapsto [x, y] of g into g is called the adjoint linear mapping of x and is denoted by ad⁡gx\operatorname{ad}_g x or ad⁡x\operatorname{ad} x.

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