Summary/Abstract: An occasional print (volant) played an import ant role as a document of a political and sociallife, as well as was popular as a portable form of popularising the content that was to be relativelyquickly transmitted to the public for various reasons in the era of Stanisław August Poniatowski.Franciszek Karpińśki used this way of publication for his works dealing with an occasional (social,historical) subject‑matter, devoted to important figures of the elite at that time, as well as reflective‑‑philosophical, dedication and love poems. He debuted this way and he ran his literary dialogueswith his friends and other writers at the end of his life in the same way. To his most characteristicliterary behaviours belongs a repeated publication of an autobiographic elegy Powrót z Warszawyna wieś. It was a expression of poetic independence and poet’s individualism, and at the same timea manifesto poem. A technical form of print was used for his own purposes, convergent with hisliterary actions done at that time and later on.
