1898, Antoni Wrotnowski, Pozbiorowe Aspiracye Narodu Polskiego, 3rd edition, G. Gebethner i Spółka, pages 72–73:
Utrzymując ferment między stronnictwami, doprowadziła ona [cesarzowa Katarzyna] ówczesne społeczeństwo polskie do przyjęcia jej protektoratu (r. 1767), i od tej pory poczytując Polskę za kraj zhołdowany, usiłowała nie dopuścić w nim żadnego innego wpływu.
Keeping up the unrest between the factions, she led the Polish society at that time to accept her protectorate (in the year 1767), and from that time deeming Poland a country that had been made her vassal, she endeavored not to allow any other influence in it.
