The author discusses also other works from the youth of the Piarist and researcher: Z filozofii wybrane zdania (Vilnius 1771) and translated from the French language Nauka żołnierska króla pruskiego dla jego generałów dana (Vilnius 1771), as well as his further educational activity in the Society for Elementary Books and his social activity in Warsaw.
