General Topology, chapter I, § 2. Continuous functions

It is possible to have a continuous bijection of a topological space XX onto a topological space X′X' which is not bicontinuous: for example, take X′X' to be the rational line Q\mathbf{Q}, and XX to be the set Q\mathbf{Q} with the discrete topology; then the identity map X→X′X \to X' is continuous but is not a homeomorphism.

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