Outline of the history of Warsaw's Praga.

"The History of Praga" by Mr. Wł. J. Wójtowicz, is not only a compilation of certain historical facts and circumstances concerning the right-bank part of the city of Warsaw, it is first of all a handbook of love for the area where we were born, where we face life and its adversities and where, finally, we will make our living. In a word - a handbook that, by recalling the glorious past of this part of the capital, wishes to evoke in its present and future residents the pride of belonging to a place that Mickiewicz already beautifully mentions in "Pan Tadeusz" (...)
