Poland: A Brief Outline of its History
()
About this ebook
Introduction
The Polish cause has been the object
of much misrepresentation by partisans of the three great empires which were
interested in suppressing inconvenient truths. In consequence, the generous
sympathy which has been so long extended to the Poles is often based rather on
sentiment than on a knowledge of the facts. It is not possible to form a just
idea of the territorial and other rights of nationalities, without having a
clear, if general, notion of their history and development. Those who have not
hitherto had time or opportunity to study the story of the Polish nation will
find in this little volume a succinct exposition of the principal data, from
which they may draw their own conclusions.
The brief sketch of Polish history
which we here submit to the attention of the public forms part of a
considerable work of reference, the Polish Encyclopaedia, which we publish in
French, and which is being translated into English. This survey has been
written specially for us by Dr. Ladislas Konopczynski, professor at the
University of Cracow. We owe the translation to the kindness of Professor
Francis Benett, of Fribourg, to whom we tender our grateful thanks.
