Summary/Abstract: At the time of partitions, new regulations concerning metrical registration were first introduced in the regions of the Austrian Partition, becoming a pattern for the other partition rulers. The legal regulations in the region of Lublin came into life in 1797. The metrical books were supposed to be columned and homogeneous in size. A detailed instruction in Latin and Polish, informing how to fill in the columns, was attached to the first pages of every volume. The contemporary condition of preservation of the metrical books analysed in the article is presented in Appendix.
