General Topology, chapter IX, § 2. Metric spaces and metrizable spaces

A Hausdorff uniformity defined by a countable family of pseudometrics is metrizable.

For if (fn)(f_n) is a sequence of pseudometrics defining such a structure, the filter of entourages is generated by the countable family of sets f‾n1([0,1/m])\overline{f}_n^1([0, 1/m]), where mm and nn each run through the set of integers >0> 0.

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