This is probably a fragment of a larger set of files that collected documentation regarding the eviction of the Grzebsk Estate, located in the Plock Province in the Mlawno District. Document without date, late 18th or early 19th century. A sheet of paper used for the printing of 1794 10 penny bills was used, which, being unused, served as writing material.
Sheet for the production of 10 pennies 1794 with a beautiful large watermark (eagle and chase) of the Jeziorna paper factory.
Very rare, especially in the size of 30 security marks. An item that will enrich any collection of Kosciuszko Insurrection tickets. The first notation known to us in the form presented.

Education Fund - historical outline
In 1773, the National Education Commission, the world's first ministry of education, was established. The basis of the educational revolution of that time was the so-called "Education Fund." The establishment of the Education Fund is directly related to the cancellation of the Jesuit order. This cancellation also took place in 1773. The Jesuit Order owned numerous landed estates and schools of the nobility, and it was these estates that formed the Education Fund, which was the material basis for the functioning of the National Education Commission. With the liquidation of the Jesuit order, their estates were transferred to the nobility with the obligation to pay into the Education Fund. Income from Jesuit property supported Polish education for many decades. The Education Fund continued to function after the partitions of Poland; in the Prussian partition, the fund was placed at the direct discretion of the King of Prussia, who further strengthened it, contributing to the growth of the number of schools, especially elementary schools.
