General Topology, chapter II, § 3. Complete spaces
Let be a function defined on a dense subspace of a uniform space , taking its values in a complete Hausdorff uniform space , and suppose that is uniformly continuous on . Then can be extended to the whole of by continuity, and the extended function is uniformly continuous.
The existence of is an immediate consequence of Propositions 3 and 11 of no. 1. Let us show that is uniformly continuous. Let be a closed symmetric entourage of , and let be an entourage of such that, when and are in and are -close, then and are -close. We may assume that is the closure in of an entourage of ( 2, no. 4, Proposition 6). We have when ; since is continuous in (Chapter I, 4, no. 1, Proposition 1) we have also when , since is closed (Chapter I, 2, no. 1, Theorem 1).
Q.E.D.
Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
