Summary/Abstract: This paper is a continuation of a cycle dedicated to discussing the share of borrowed words in the vocabulary used in Rozprawy literackie (Literary Treatises) by M. Mochnacki. The author analyses the issue of Latin and Greek influences among others by indicating the manners of adapting the discusses borrowings to Polish, confirming their occurrence in lexicographic sources of the period, and conducting a sematic analysis of the vocabulary with the use of lexical and semantic fields. Based on the presented material, the researcher concludes that the discusses lexical resource cannot be considered innovative since the lexemes originating from Latin and Greek used by Mochnacki belong to the standard general variance of the 19th-century Polish language. The conducted analysis falls into the stream of research devoted to the lexis of the 19th-century language.
