Prof. Jerzy Jankowski passed away on 18th of August, 2020 and this paper brings back this outstanding scientist, one of the most influential geophysicists in Poland and an extraordinary man. Considered a prime architect in the development of the geomagnetic observations in Poland, Prof. Jankowski was a giant in geophysics covering a wide range of problems, from the cognition of the deep basement in Poland and Central Europe to the studies of earthquake precursors. Besides research Prof. Jankowski also offered his administrative services to the Institute of Geophysics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, among others being its director for more than 30 years and also to the Polish Academy of Sciences as the Head of the Division of Earth and Mining Sciences for nearly a decade.  Prof. Jankowski  received many significant honors during his life; internationally, he was recognized as a foreign member of the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters and Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

First Polish books on the subject of electricity were published in the 70s of the 18th century. Among them were a guidebook on the installation of lightning conductors by Józef Osiński in 1784 and a physics textbook of 1777, whose extended edition was issued in 1801 (volume 1) and in 1803 (volume 2). Moreover, in the times of the reign of Stanislaus II, Polish physics textbooks appeared: by Samuel Chrościkowski (1764), Józef Rogaliński (4 volumes in the years 1765–1776), Józef Lisikiewicz (two volumes in the years 1779 and 1781), and by Jan Michał Hube (1783 and 1792). In his work the author analyses the state of knowledge at that time concerning the nature of electricity, static electricity, magnetism, lightning discharge, earth charge, conductors and insulators, influence of electricity on living organisms, aurora borealis, as well as evolution of this knowledge at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries and its evaluation from today’s perspective.
