Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the way of describing Polish dialects by a geographer and a famous writer Vincent Pol (1807-1872). The scholar isolated and described eight Polish dialects in use on the territory of pre-partition Poland. He employed a geographical, linguistic and historical criterion related to human settlements in order to present the dialects. Pol’s work enables him to be classified as a precursor of Polish dialectology.
