Michał Salamonik published his doctoral dissertation in 2017. The book addresses an important topic of the presence of the bourgeois in the early modern Polish-Lithuanian state. This is a biographical account and a study of the career of Francesco De Gratta, a citizen of Gdańsk of Italian origin. The purpose of the article is to present the subject matter from the perspective of original methodology used by the author: social network analysis, evaluation of the narrative based on it and the effectiveness of its use in historiography. It also contains reflections on the legitimacy of using studies of relationship and networks (family, work, financial) and broadly understood quantitative methods for biographical research. The article also poses a question of the extent to which one can speak of planning or deliberately constructing the bourgeois career within the social and political structures of the seventeenth-century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The presented analysis has shown that the application of the SNA methodology for creating biographies should be considered interesting and useful, especially when the social connections of the main character are closely connected with other spheres of his activity. It seems that a study from the social network perspective gives the entitlement to studying characters that are understood as integral elements of social processes and relations, which adds a great research value of this approach.

W latach 1809–1812 Jan Potocki korespondował ze swoją siostrzenicą Marią z Rzewuskich, która w czasie, kiedy zaczynali do siebie pisać, wyszła za Jarosława, syna Józefiny z Mniszchów i Stanisława Szczęsnego Potockiego. Zachowały się tylko listy Jana Potockiego, świetnie napisane, błyskotliwe, przesiąknięte i wiedzą książkową, i życiową mądrością. Autor szkicu skoncentrował się jednak nie na ich walorach stylistyczno-merytorycznych, ale na technicznym sposobie, w jaki je przekazywano. Ukraińskie drogi były w złym stanie, a carska poczta nie odznaczała się sprawnością – przesyłki przychodziły z dużym opóźnieniem, czasem nie dochodziły w ogóle. Dlatego Potocki i jego epistolarna interlokutorka, pisząc do siebie, nie korzystali z jej usług. Listy przekazywali za pośrednictwem służących, znajomych, Żydów, a także członków najbliższej rodziny. Oboje korespondujący nieustanne informowali się o tym, kogo i kiedy wysyłają z przesyłką. Zwierzali się z kłopotów, związanych z chwilowym brakiem chętnych do jej przewiezienia; etc. I właśnie ten wątek został w korespondencji bardzo rozbudowany, nadając jej dodatkowy walor atrakcyjności.

Between the years 1809–1812 Jan Potocki exchanged letters with his niece Maria of the Rzewuski family who, at the time they started their correspondence, married Jarosław, the son of Józefina née Mniszech and Stanisław Szczęsny Potocki. Only Jan Potocki’s letters survived: they are well written, brilliant, absorbed both with book knowledge and life wisdom. The author of the sketch concentrates, however, not on their stylistic and content matter issues, but on the way the letters were handed over. The Ukrainian ways were in poor condition, and the tzarist post far from functional. Thus, letters reached their addressees as delayed, and often did not reach them at all. In view of that, Potocki and the recipient of his letters did not use it and employed servants, Jewish friends, and members of closest family to deliver the correspondence. The two letter writers constantly informed one another when and who would deliver letters. They told in confidence about temporary problems with a person to do the delivery, etc., and this issue is well developed in the epistles, giving it additional attractiveness.
