During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries within the walls of the University of Prague appeared about a hundred students from lands administratively under the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Some of their names are well-known, but the identities of others have not been recognised. The students came fi rst of all from provinces geographically closer to Prague, i.e., Wielkopolska (30%) or Małopolska (6%). Further regions were represented as follows: Royal Prussia (23%), the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (5%), Mazovia (7%), Rus (4%), Lublin Province (4%), Podlasie (2%), Sieradz Province (1%), Rawa Province (1%), Kujawy Province (1%). We are unable to determine the origin of 16% of students. The young men represented the nobility (42%) and a slightly larger number came from the bourgeoisie (45%). The social origin of 13% of students is unknown. Among the students were such renowned historical fi gures like Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki, Krzysztof Antoni Szembek or Hieronymus Roth.

In the first half of XIXth century in Bohemia, statistics had been developed in the understanding of the school of Achenwall and Schlözer. Its main exponent there was G. N. Schnabel (1791–1857), who was a professor of statistics at the university in Prague. This article is about all the main statistical publications of Schnabel, and demonstrates their gradual modernization, usage of comprehensive tables, and basic statistical analysis according to the patterns of political arithmetic and statistical graphs. Schnabel’s activity was the culmination, but also the final stage, of the development of traditional university statistics in Bohemia. It also mentions the activity of Schnabel in organizing official statistics in Bohemia, his disputes with Austrian censorship and the later controversies in the matter of national statistics.
