Reply to the letter of Mr. Mickiewicz On the Critics and Reviewers of Warsaw. 1830

DMOCHOWSKI F[ranciszek] S[alezy] - Odpowiedź na p. Mickiewicza O Krytykach i recenzentach Warszawskich. Edycya druga z dołączeniem dwóch artykułów z Biblioteki Polskiey wyiętych. Warsaw 1830. druk. at Elektoralney St. No. 795. 16d, p. [6], 208. opr. psk. of period.
Good condition. Ex-libris herald. Władysław Górski, stamp. Jan S. Zubrzycki. Notes and inventory sticker. A polemic against the famous preface that Mickiewicz prefaced the St. Petersburg edition of his "Poetry" (1829). "In Warsaw it was discussed long, fiercely and widely. Perhaps this is what the poet had in mind: after all, he anticipated that he would be 'stoned' for this preface [...]. Fr. S. Dmochowski, who was most severely attacked by Mickiewicz, wrote - in a rather moderate tone, in fact - a booklet that was a response 'to P. Mickiewicz's writing'" (Syga 86). Articles included: Uwagi nad teraźnieyszym stanem, duch i dążność Poezyi Polskiey and Uwagi nad Sonetami Pana Mickiewicza. A memento of one of the most heated literary disputes of the 19th century in Poland.
