Media presence

The Bukowiner Zeitung wrote about Soniewicki: “If ever a person who is highly deserving of the state and fatherland deserves to claim the motto 'To his merit his crown', it is the esteemed notary Soniewicki. During the long period of his public activity, there was not a day on which he did not devote all his energy to the welfare of the people of the country, in which works of philanthropy, acts, and true humanity had not marked his beneficial activity. Uniting the most sublime virtues and noble character traits of man in his person, Notar Soniewicki is one of the chosen, most popular men and most beautiful adornments of our country. He is a prototype of those honest characters, those high characters from the good old days who are becoming increasingly rare. "
