"Marcin Studzieński - is a poem reminiscent of the best times of Kondratowicz's work , based strictly on a story , announced by Teodor Narbutt ( Athenaeum , 1848)"[Syrokomla about himself].

"From the poem Marcin Studzieński emerges a convincing picture of Lithuania as a state. Syrokomla believed that the development of the state was greatly aided by the victory over the Teutonic Knights." [Eastern Review, vol. 8].
