 | | Chopin was one of the most important members of the Great Emigration; Mickiewicz, with his moral and patriotic authority, was one of its most articulate and influential leaders. |
 | | When they reached Paris, both Chopin and Mickiewicz made contacts with their compatriots—other Polish exiles, some of whom were Chopin's friends from Warsaw (Julian Fontana, Alexander Or³owski, and aristocratic families of the Czartoryskis, the Platers, and the Wodziñskis). |
 | | The Great Emigration included members of the National Government Adam Czartoryski, Joachim Lelewel, Bonawentura Niemojowski, Teodor Morawski; generals Józef Bem and Skrzynecki; politicians and writers Maurycy Mochnacki, Andrzej Plichta, Ludwik Plater; writers Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz, Adam Mickiewicz, Juliusz S³owacki, Stefan Witwicki, Bohdan Zaleski (the last two were Chopin's friends from Warsaw). |
