Summary/Abstract: The nineteenth century saw the transformation of the societal structure from the feudal model to capitalism. These changes were accompanied by the formation of political parties representing various socio-political movements. The Mieszczanin, a magazine published in Nowy Sącz in the years 1894–1908 (with interruptions), sought to spark political and social activation of the bourgeoise and to form a bourgeois party which would represent the interests of this particular social group. The article aims to analyze the extent to which the goal of the magazine was achieved.
