History / CONSIDERATIONS ON THE GOVERNMENT OF POLAND April 1772 [12]
Considerations on the Government of Poland is an essay by French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau concerning the design of a new constitution for the people of Poland (or more exactly, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth). It represents Rousseau's last venture into political theory.
Mably's recommendations were completed in two installments, the first in August 1770 and the second in July 1771. Generally, he called for more radical and substantial changes than Rousseau was to suggest; he was also able to finish his recommendations in a more timely fashion than Rousseau.[1] It was not until 1772 that Rousseau completed his essay. By the time he finished, the First Partition of Poland had already occurred, on February 17, 1772. Russia, Prussia, and Austria had invaded and occupied much of Poland.
The Government of Poland was not published until after Rousseau's death.
Rousseau's work influenced the Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791, the world's second modern codified constitution.

What kind of fish do you like? Each type of fish has different manner, habit of eating, area of habitat. If you donot know about this, you can't go fishing. Or you just get out throwing the net, and eat whatever got caught in that net. In such case, the fish you want is most likely not in there. Unless you can eat any fish.

I really do understand how frustrating things like this can be. The only advice i could give you is to just move on and do your best. Remember there is plenty fishes in the sea!!!
What characters of a man you're talking about? Be proud, confident, goal oriented, less emotional? How about getting into the kitchen, wiping the kids butts? So, are you successful in your life? Do you have a girlfriend/wife who is loyal to you, care for you?

History / Wealth of the Polish nobility [29]
Im doing some reasearch on the wealth of the polish nobility.
how was it in England and Europe at that time? could you find just as wealthy nobleman there as you could in Poland? (Im not talking about kings now)
Were the English and european noblemen allowed to have private armies?
polishnobles.com/intro.html
jasinski.co.uk/wojna/index.htm
Ps.
If anyone else knows some more numbers and statistic about the polish nobility's wealth, please post them.
Im doing some reasearch on the wealth of the polish nobility.
In 1748 the total revenue of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth amounted to 8,000,000 zloties. In that same year the Zamoyski family owned 1,000,000 zloties, Count F.S. Potocki possessed 3,000,000 and Michael Radziwill had amassed 5,000,000 zloties. It has been estimated that Michael Radziwill's 5,000,000 zloties was equal to 139,000 pounds sterling. This would make the income of even the richest British aristocrats (Bedfords, Devonshires etc) pale in comparison. In 1767 James Harris (later the Earl of Malmesbury) calculated Radziwill's income at 18,000,000 zloties or 500,000 pnds sterling.
how was it in England and Europe at that time? could you find just as wealthy nobleman there as you could in Poland? (Im not talking about kings now)
In the early 1760s August Czartoryski had a personal court of 375 persons and a private army of 4,000. F.S. Potocki had 2,000 men in his army. Michael Radziwill could lay claim to 10,000 men in 1750 and his son to 5,000 in 1764.

I really wonder how the Austrian Archduke felt when he lost against a polish nobleman.
Would be something else to loose against a country, but a against 1 nobleman...
Interesting though how much power the polish magnates had.
In the next election there was a conflict between the rebellious Zborowski family and the powerful Chancellor Jan Zamojski. The Zborowski's attempted to take matters into their own hands and urged Archduke Maximillian to take the crown. In September 1587, together with an army, Maximillian entered Poland but was repulsed at Krakow by Zamojski. The following year in January the Chancellor, with 3,700 cavalry and 2,300 infantry, crushed the Austrian forces, of 2,600 cavalry, 2,900 infantry and 8 cannon, at Byczyna (24 January 1588) capturing the Archduke. He was not released until Austria abandoned all claims to the Polish throne.
