Uczestnicy sejmików kowieńskich w czasach Augusta III i Stanisława Augusta Poniatowskiego – teoria i praktyka
Participants in Kowno sejmiki in the times of Augustus III and Stanisław II Augustus: Theory and praxis

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt at evaluating the approximate number of participants in sejmiki (dietines), based on narrative sources and signatures in the sejmik records. Furthermore, the question of participation of the different social classes (i.e. nobility, senators, dignitaries, clergy) in sejmiki is raised. Special attention is paid to the presence of officials from Kowno (Kaunas) district, less to those from other districts. Mentioned are also persons leading the sittings and those who had actual impact on the sessions.
