About this book
John Sobieski is a Lothian Prize Essay for 1881 by Edward H. R. Tatham. Under the heading Strangeness of Polish history, the text says the Kingdom or Republic of Poland has always seemed a strange phenomenon in European history, partly from the aboriginal character of its population, and partly from its exceptional constitution. Under the heading The officers of state, the text says there were twelve great dignitaries entrusted with the higher executive, six for the kingdom of Poland and six parallel officers for the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
Under the heading The Diet, the text says a Diet of 400 deputies met every two years, and was liable to be summoned on extraordinary occasions. John cries Desert who will, the Turks shall not reach the heart of the republic without passing over my corpse. The text says some scandal was caused by the attempt of the French queen to secure an honour for a certain Brisacier, her attendant, who represented himself as the natural son of Sobieski during his visit to France.
