Editorial comments: The manifesto was written individually by Higgins, but it adresses to "his brothers and sisters". The manifesto was issued in the occasion of the publication - and promotion - of two books from Higgins, which also constitute the only two existing exemples of exemplativist art: Classic Plays et Legends & Fishnets
