  Fryderyk Michal, Prince Czartoryski - LoveToKnow 1911
Czartoryski reached the height of his power in 1752 when he was entrusted with the great seal of Lithuania; but after that date the influence of his rival Mniszek began to prevail at Dresden, whereupon Czartoryski sought a reconciliation with his political opponents at home and foreign support both in England and Russia.
Czartoryski's philo-Russian policy had by this time estranged Briihl, but he frustrated all the plans of the Saxon court by dissolving the diets of 1760, 1761 and 1762.
During the ensuing interregnum the prince chancellor laboured night and day at the convocation diet of 1764 to reform the constitution, and it was with displeasure that he saw his incompetent nephew Stanislaus finally elected king in 1765.

When his aspirations for the restoration of Poland by the aid of his friend, the emperor, proved futile, he became the bitter enemy of Russia and was at the head of the Polish insurrection of 1830-31.
As a Polish patriot he was concerned mainly with the welfare of Poland, his zeal on behalf of the Jews of Poland being none the less genuine though subordinate to his main object.
Czartoryski is still revered among the Polish Jews, especially among those who emigrated to France or came under the influence of the community of Polish exiles in Paris.

Prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski, 1770-1861, grandson of Michael, was a hostage at the Russian court after the failure of the Polish insurrection in 1794.
He resigned in 1806 but remained a close adviser of Alexander, whom he accompanied to the Congress of Vienna and from whom he obtained the Polish constitution of 1815 after Alexander was recognized as king of Poland by the congress.
Opposing the later Polish policy of Alexander and Nicholas I, Czartoryski took part in the insurrection of 1830 and headed (1830-31) the provisional government.

 Adam Jerzy Czartoryski - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Throughout the reign of Paul, Czartoryski was in high favor and on terms of the closest intimacy with the emperor, who in December 1798 appointed him ambassador to the court of Charles Emmanuel IV of Sardinia.
On reaching Italy, Czartoryski found that the monarch to whom he was accredited was a king without a kingdom, so that the outcome of his first diplomatic mission was a pleasant tour through Italy to Naples, the acquisition of the Italian language, and a careful exploration of the antiquities of Rome.
Czartoryski found the emperor still suffering from remorse at his father's assassination, and incapable of doing anything but talk religion and politics to a small circle of private friends.

It was as early as 1803 that Czartoryski, in the capacity of Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, learned from Arsenije Gagovic, an Orthodox Church dignitary from Herzegovina, about the plans of the Serbs to get rid of the Ottoman yoke and restore the state they had lost in fifteenth century.
Czartoryski received similar memorandum in 1804 from the spiritual leader of the Orthodox Serbs in Austria, Metropolitan Stevan Stratimirovic, envisaging the creation of a "Slavic-Serbian Empire" with a Russian Prince as its ruler.
Czartoryski's advices left a strong impression on Garasanin, and were the points of departure in formulating the final text of Nacertanije (20).

Czartoryski, Prince Adam Jerzy, 1770-1861, was unquestionably the greatest Polish statesmen and diplomat of the 19th c entury.
In the East, Czartoryski responded to the revolutionary challenge with renewed activity among the Serbs, Croats, Bulgarians and Romanians, as well as among the Ottomans and even into the Crimea and the Ukraine.
Despite Czartoryski's hopes that Polish support would now be repaid, the heady mixture of revolution and independence led these peoples to ignore his earlier services which had helped make revolt, or at least, self-ass ertion, possible, and the Hôtel Lambert steadily weakened.

Few museums have been so tossed by the storms as the Czartoryski, and of those that were subjected to similar disasters, few have managed to emerge as unscathed.
Since its budding days in the last years of the eighteenth century, when Poland was itself being erased from the map of Europe, the museum has been spirited into hiding on several occasions.
The Czartoryski is unfailing in its ability to draw unexpected gems from the depths of its archives, and such is the case with its current show in the museum's northern wing on Pijarska Street.
