“Tabella miast, wsi, osad Królestwa Polskiego” is an official, two-volume directory of localities in the Kingdom of Poland prior to the November Uprising. For each locality, the record lists its administrative affiliation (province, district, county, parish), type of ownership, number of houses and residents, and distance from the district capital. Volume I covers localities beginning with the letters A–Ł. The directory was compiled during a period of administrative and fiscal reorganization in the Kingdom, when Prince Ksawery Drucki-Lubecki served as Minister of the Treasury. The printing was carried out by the printing house of Józef Łątkiewicz, a printer for government commissions.

A primary source on the history of settlement and population in the Kingdom of Poland prior to 1830, widely used by genealogists, economic historians, and regional historians.

Complete volume. The first and last pages show signs of wear from past use, but there are no missing pages and the text is intact. The modern binding is in good condition.
