A periodical edited by Konstanty Słotwiński, director of the Ossoliński National Institute. Simultaneously, it is one of 33 secret publications published by the Ossolineum from 1832 to 1834 to keep the national spirit up after the defeat of the November Insurrection without the obligatory censorship permission. The periodical includes mostly patriotic poetry along with historical and literary texts containing reflections on the most noble moments of Polish history, contrasted to the realities of national bondage and the military actions during the Napoleonic Wars.The increasing appearance of prints (pamphlets, brochures and lithographs) without censorship approval drew the attention of the police. Despite the different places of publication (Avignion, Bourges, Leipzig, Paris), the books were printed with identical typefaces, which suggested that the place of publication was faked and that there was some kind of well-disguised local printing house. An accidental apprehension in another case resulted in the printing house being uncovered. Several people were brought to trial, including K. Słotwiński, who was charged with high treason. After six years of imprisonment in the Kufstein fortress in Tyrol, Słotwiński returned to his family estate in Głobikowa near Dębica and completely withdrew from public life. Ironically, this great and meritorious patriot was killed on his own estate, by his own people, during Jakub Szela’s “march on the courts” [Galician Slaughter]. Text in Polish.
