| The article deals with the description of the Polish national character in the Polish and West European historiog-raphy of the Enlightenment and Romanticism (until mid-19th century). A prominent place in the list of specific Polish ethnic qualities was occupied by the properties of temperament, which explained the national peculiarities of the political system, social behavior and customs.
