    Abstract

    The text presents various ways of maintaining contact among members of the Philomatic Society, first imprisoned in Vilnius for the duration of the investigation and trial, and then exiled to provinces far from Poland. So far, the attention of researchers has most often been focused on descriptions which, being a type of non-fiction, had as their main goal a historical and statistical presentation of cities and regions or simpler descriptions of the explored places. The article is an attempt to defend the thesis that, apart from literary methods of presenting unknown places, philomaths (but not only – the case of Łuszczewska) included diagrams, plans, portraits in their letters, which were as precise as descriptions, and sometimes more precise, but certainly more economical. introduced the subjects of recent descriptions.
