A noted Polish poet; born at Warsaw, about 1793; died there, May 2, 1826. The merit of his works, which were marked by a deeply religious spirit, was not recognized till after his death. His masterpiece, the famous epic "Marya" (Maria: 1825), has been several times edited and translated into English (London, 1836), French, German, and Bohemian. The tomb erected to him at Varsovia bears the inscription: "To the author of Maria". He died in abject poverty.
