“Wiadomości Literackie” addition to “Kurier Litewski” has been appearing in Vilnius between 1760–1763. The Editor in Chief of both titles was Franciszek Paprocki, Jesuit, professor at the Vilnius Academy and a prefect of its print house, publisher of the nation-wide popular calendars. “Wiadomości Literackie” were thought out to be as a small-format and small-volume addition and was supposed to acquaintance readers with the newest scientific achievements and interesting facts from the world all around. It printed news from the area of inter alia agriculture, medicine, hygiene, veterinary medicine, physics, meteorology, botany. As one of the few periodicals popularizing the scientific knowledge, it published original content, rarely using reprints of foreign magazines.
