"I will not tell you how many cubits in length and width a square or street is, how many houses stand along it - how many chapels and columns are in which church, and to what order of architecture they belong; all such details, dates, numbers, you will find little here. For this I will tell you what remarks arose in my mind at the sight of certain edifices or establishments, I will share with you the impression which once seized me in this or that temple, I will mention what I have heard from old people, what I have sometimes met in books, what I have recently learned from husbands excellent in science and researching the history of Warsaw."
