The second volume of the posthumously published work by Hugo Kołłątaj, co-author of the Constitution of May 3 and Crown Vice-Chancellor. Kołłątaj wrote *A Critical Analysis* while imprisoned by the Austrians (1794–1802), mainly in the fortress at Olomouc, from memory and without access to contemporary literature. In it, he addresses, among other topics, geological time, geological processes, and the influence of the geographical environment on the development of societies. The manuscript was not published until 1842 by Ferdynand Kojsiewicz, a professor at Jagiellonian University, thirty years after the author’s death.
A clean copy, in a half-leather binding.
