Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter II, § 2. Free Lie algebras

The module L(X)L(X) is free and so is each of the submodules Lα(X)L^\alpha(X) where α∈N(X)\alpha \in \mathbf{N}^{(X)} and Ln(X)L^n(X) where n∈Nn \in \mathbf{N}. The modules Lα(X)L^\alpha(X) are of finite rank and so are the modules Ln(X)L^n(X) if XX is finite.

There exists a Hall set HH relative to XX (Proposition 11). For all w∈Hw \in H, the element Ψ′(w)\Psi'(w) of L(X)L(X) belongs to one of the modules Lα(X)L^\alpha(X) (with α∈N(X)\alpha \in \mathbf{N}^{(X)}) and the module L(X)L(X) is the direct sum of the submodules Lα(X)L^\alpha(X). Further, for all α∈N(X)\alpha \in \mathbf{N}^{(X)}, the set of elements of M(X)M(X) whose canonical image in N(X)\mathbf{N}^{(X)} is equal to α\alpha is finite; this shows that each of the modules Lα(X)L^\alpha(X) is free and of finite rank and that L(X)L(X) is free. Now Ln(X)=∑∣α∣=nLα(X)L^n(X) = \sum_{|\alpha|=n} L^\alpha(X) and hence Ln(X)L^n(X) is free; when XX is finite, the set of α∈N(X)\alpha \in \mathbf{N}^{(X)} such that ∣α∣=n|\alpha|=n is finite and hence Ln(X)L^n(X) is then of finite rank.

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