Initially led by Stefan Łuskina, it remained his personal enterprise until 1793. Defunct after the founders' death, it was recreated as a conservative newspaper the following year, this time as a private venture of the Lesznowski family. Among the notable editors of the newspaper were Józef Kenig (1859-1889), Maurycy Zamoyski (1906-1909) and Roman Dmowski (1910-1916). Disbanded in 1916, it was recreated in 1918, this time as an organ of the National Democrats. Drifting towards the far-right, it was officially banned by the Sanacja in 1935, after which it was continued until 1939 under the name of Warszawski Dziennik Narodowy (Warsaw National Daily).
