ndlage der universellen Philosophie_, Karlsruh 1837; the second, _Prolegomena zur Historiosophie_, Berlin 1838.] [Footnote 62: See Dr. Connor's History of Poland, 1698. Even as late as the close of the seventeenth century, the Poles were barbarians enough to look upon the profession of a physician with contempt. They had however in earlier times some very celebrated physicians, as Martin of Olkusc, Felix of Lowicz, and Struthius, who was called to Spain to save the life of Philip II, and even to the Turkish sultan Suliman II.] [Footnote 63: Page 278.] [Footnote 64: This code is frequently called the code of Leo Sapieha, the sub-chancellor of Lithuania, who in A.D. 1588 translated it from the White Russian into the Polish language.] [Footnote 65: See _Revue Encyclopedique_, Oct. 1827, p. 219.] [Footnote 66: See Letters on Poland, p. 103.] [Footnote 67: Breslau 1821. The same author published John Sobieski's Letters, a work read throughout all Europe in its French translation by count Plater and Salvandy. A whole series of _Memoirs_, among which are some of great importance for Polish history, for instance those of Passek, of Wybicki, of Kolontaj, etc. owe their publication to the generous liberality of this true nobleman.] [Footnote 68: We do not know exactly from what point the Polish literary historians _after_ Bentkowski date the period of the present literature; as we have not been able to get a view of Wiszniewski's _Historya literatury Polskiej_, Cracow 1840. We are even not certain, whether the works on literary history, which J.B. Rakowiecki and Prof. Aloys Osinski were said to be preparing about the same time, have ever appeared.] [Footnote 69: _Historya prawodawstw Slowanskich_, Warsaw 1832-1835.] [Footnote 70: _Pamietniki o djezach, pismiennictwie i prawodawstwie Slowian_, Warsaw 1838. A German translation appeared in 1842, at St. Petersburg: _Denkwuerdigkeiten ueber die Begebnisse, das Schriftwesen, und die Gesetzgebung der Slaven_.--The same author published more recently a work on the ancient history of Poland and Lithuania: _Pierwotne dzieje Polski i Litwy_, etc. Warsaw 1846.] [Footnote 71: _Najdawniejsze pomniki praw Slowianskich_, Warsaw 1838.] [Footnote 72: Muczkowski's valuable History of the University of Cracow has been mentioned above, p. 232.] [Footnote 73: _Starozytnosci historyczne Polskie_, Cracow 1840.] [Footnote 74: _Starozytnosci Gallicyiskie_, Cracow 1841.]
