KALLENBACH Józef - Triumph of the Philomaths. Warsaw et al. 1919. publ. Gebethner and Wolff. 16d, pp. 34. broch.
Wraps dusty, local stains inside. "Until ten years ago we did not know the Philomaths thoroughly; It was only when the Philomaths' archive unexpectedly came out of hiding, thanks to the Pietraszkiewicz family, when the Academy of Arts and Sciences published in five sizable volumes 767 unknown letters, the correspondence of the huge (and yet not preserved in its entirety) Philomaths, from the years 1815-1823, that we began to really get to know the brave youth of Vilnius, to penetrate into their aspirations, intentions, work and hopes, to look also at their gray, everyday days, not only festive ones." (from the beginning of the work).
