The Last King of Poland and His Contemporaries

This biography of Stanislaus Poniatowski, the last king of Poland, vividly pictures the social, moral, and intellectual conditions in Poland at the end of the eighteenth century just as the Polish state was about to disappear from the map of Europe for more than a century.
R. Nisbet Bain (1854-1909) of the British Museum Library translated many volumes of folklore.
