Sposób Uformowania Zydów Polskich w Pozytecznych Krajowi Obywatelow. Matheus Butrymowicz. Warsaw, 1789. First Edition.
In this booklet, published by the Polish politician Butrymowicz, which he even sent to the polish king, the writer suggests a plan to turn the Polish Jews into more useful citizens. He claims that the Polish law relates to the Jews as a foreign element, burdens them with exceptional taxes, does not grant them rights as to the rest of the citizens, and as a result society's attitude towards the Jews is negative and one cannot expect them to be useful to the state. When, in 1790, a committee was established in Poland to reform the status of the Jews, Butrymowicz was one of its active members.
