Description

Moltke, as a young lieutenant in the Topographical Department of the Prussian General Staff, was tasked with surveying Silesia and the province of Posen. During this task, he spent his spare time studying the history and customs of Poland. Eventually, his studies resulted in this essay on Poland, which was originally published in 1832 in Berlin. Moltke, as a true historian, stated his facts dispassionately, leaving us to draw our own conclusions regarding the virtues and defects that made up the Polish state.
