This article attempts to show the importance of newspaper advertisements as a factual source which offers valuable insights into past events. The study of advertisements helps the researcher to complement and verify what has been gleaned from the usual documents, and sometimes can even provide a corrective to conclusions reached by other means. In particular, the advertisements in Lwowskie Tygodniowe Wiadomości [Lwów Weekly News], published 1786–1788 show how much information about property from the monasteries of Galicia, dissolved by Emperor Joseph II in 1782–1788, can be found in the local press. It is a source which not only contains important clues about the history and the scale of the dissolution but also a wealth of minor details that it would be hard find anywhere else.

W artykule prześledzono obecność psychoanalizy w wydawanych w latach 1946–1981 w Londynie „Wiadomościach”.

The article discusses the features of 19th-century periodicals from Wilno (Vilnius). In the first part of the 19th century Wilno (Vilnius) became an important cultural centre which influenced the intellectual life of the rest of the region. The literary magazines which have survived in the library’s holdings („Dziennik Wileński”, „Gazetę Literacką Wileńską”, „Tygodnik Wileński”, „Wiadomości Brukowe”, „Wizerunki i Roztrząsania Naukowe”, „Znicz”, „Rusałka”, „Athenaeum”, „Rubon”, „Pamiętnik Naukowo-Literacki”) reflect the diversity of the intellectual life in Wilno. The author provided detailed information about the editors and their magazines focusing on the literary and cultural character of the periodicals. In 1851 the final issue of the „Athenaeum” (ed. By I. K. Krasicki) was published; the date has been interpreted as a turning point, after which no periodical was brought out in Wilno for the following six-year period.
