The text describes the history of the initiative to erect a monument to Adam Mickiewicz in Vilnius. The unfavourable circumstances that held up the construction of the monument are recalled. It is also mentioned that for the time being a 'temporary' monument of Adam Mickiewicz is being erected in front of the Vilnius Town Hall by Prof. Zbigniew Pronaszko (in the end it stood in a different place). Finally, the competition for the monument is mentioned, as well as the question of a possible statue to be erected in the square in front of the former town hall on Wielka Street (Source: Tygodnik Illustrowany, Warsaw 1926, Półrocze II, p. 781, after: Digital Library of the University of Łódź).
