need to include them in state politics, and to deliver a warning to the more traditionally-minded politicians about the growing dangers of resisting change. The group was small enough that one of their principal meeting places was Kołłątaj's home in Warsaw. Key activists of the Forge, besides Kołłątaj himself, included Franciszek Salezy Jezierski, Franciszek Ksawery Dmochowski, Józef Meier (Mejer), Antoni Trebicki (Trębicki), Franciszek Jelski, Tomasz Maruszewski, Jan Dembowski and Kazimierz Konopka. Other supporters included Franciszek Zabłocki, Jan Śniadecki and Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz. Many of them emigrated after the victory of the Targowica Confederation in the War in Defense of the Constitution, or after the final Third Partition of Poland. Whereas Kołłątaj himself was more of a moderate, some of the Forge's followers were more radical, and many of the Polish Jacobins of the 1794 Kościuszko Uprising were Forge's members. Forge activists usually met in the Kołłątaj's house that was located in the Solec neighborhood in Warsaw.
