CO-AUTHORED TWO TITLES:

1. Karol Surowiecki 's "Swistak warszawski wyświstany, czyli Uwagi krytyczne nad warszawskim romansem tytułowanym "Podróż do Ciemnogrod, pod imię pisarza nazwanego Świstek przez drukarską pomyłkę. " Prawdogród [Italian: Warsaw] 1821. The book by Karol Surowiecki (1754-1824) is his response to Stanisław Kostka Potocki's Journey to Ciemnogród, published by him, in which he mocked the Catholic religion, mocked and ridiculed the clergy, and portrayed orthodox Jews in a negative light. Since Potocki posted his articles under the pseudonym Swistek, so Surowiecki published a pamphlet against him entitled Swistak Warszawski. In his book, he called Potocki a Warsaw fart and accused him of lying and perversity. After the publication of Swistak , Father Surowiecki was temporarily suspended from the priesthood, and Archbishop Szczepan Holowczyc ordered the booklet to be withdrawn from sale. Infrequent.
2. A. L. Olechowski "Letters of Edward to Adolf, or the envy of his sister and mother". Vilnius 1830. Item not listed in any library.
