Summary/Abstract: Concept of the note of Stefan Radičević, that is, review on some text or document, is in the Archives of SASA, Belgrade, no. 7090. Originally, the document was in the collection of Dr. Djordje Mušicki who in 1881 gave the Serbian Royal Academy numerous writings of famous Serbs from the late 18th and the first half of the 19th century. In the inventory book of the Archives of SASA, the document is recorded as Note of Stefan Radičević. We have found by a comparative analysis of handwriting that the document was written by Stefan Radičević. Radičević was one of the most prominent officials of Prince Miloš and Prince Mihailo during the first government of which he was the Minister of Justice and Education (1840-1842). We learn from a document less known details about the political conflicts in Serbia at the end of the first government of Prince Miloš, which highlights, among other things, cause of the conflict between Toma Vučić and Radičević, as the appointment and even faster dismissal of Radičević of the position of representative of the prince and Minister of Foreign Affairs in February 1839.
