Présentation de l'éditeur

This is not the book of an investigator. It is simply an attempt to present the results of much work already done by others on a difficult and complicated subject, in such a way as to reach and interest the many to whomP olands great past, as well as her present problems and their wide significance, are practically unknown. It is impossible to mention all the many authorities whose work has contributed to the preparation of this book, but I must gratefully acknowledge my special debt toR opell and Caro sG eschichte Polens, still the best general history of Poland for the period it covers; to the books and articles of Mr. R. Nisbet Bain on manyS lavonic subjects; and toM r. Robert Howard Lord, without whose authoritative and illuminating work. The Second Partition oj Poland, much of this book could scarcely have been written.
