On Zygmunt Miłkowski’s On The Active Defense And National Treasure AB - A very important role in the political education of the “bold generation”, who entered the public scene at the turn of the 1880s and 1890s, was played by Zygmunt Miłkowski’s brochure On the Active Defense and National Treasure published in Paris in 1887. This article presents the content of this brochure as well as the impressions and emotions that accompanied reading this publication by its contemporaries (e.g. the young Stefan Żeromski).   VL - 2015 IS - Issue 142 (3) PY - 2015 SN - 0083-4351 C1 - 2084-4069 SP - 459 EP - 477 DO - 10.4467/20844069PH.15.028.3899 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/prace-historyczne/article/irredentystyczne-vademecum-o-zygmunta-milkowskiego-rzeczy-o-obronie-czynnej-i-o-skarbie-narodowym KW - Zygmunt Miłkowski (pen name: Teodor Tomasz Jeż) KW - “bold generation” KW - Polish political thought in the second half of the 19th century
