Narbutt: of Poland in the first half of the sixteenth century, by
Maraczewski; historical and topographical descriptions, relating also
to language and manners, by Przezdziecki and by Kraszewski. We may
also notice here the History of the Latin Language in Poland, by Dr.
Macherzynski; a book considered as a mine of erudition and useful
knowledge. To it is annexed a list of all the different editions of
the Classics published in Poland. We learn from it that Cicero's works
have been edited there, either complete or in particular portions, not
less than forty-five times; first as early as A.D. 1500, at Cracow.
Horace also has appeared eight times, first in 1521; Ovid four times,
first in 1529; Virgil six times, first in 1642.
The publication of early chronicles, for the purpose of rendering them
more accessible to the public, was continued. That of Lemberg was
edited by D. Zubrzycki in 1844; that of Cracow, by Macynski in
1845.[72] Archaeological researches have continued to excite an
interest. The dust of centuries has been shaken from many a valuable
document; and there have been published in succession, A. Grabowski's
Historical Antiquities of Poland,[73] the Antiquities of Galicia by
Zegota Pauli,[74] and a work on Polish Archaeology by count Eustace
