Leonard Borejko Chodźko (1800–1871) was a Polish historian, geographer, cartographer, publisher, archivist, and activist of Poland's post- November-1830-Uprising Great Emigration.
Chodźko was educated at the University of Vilnius, where he was a member of the Philomaths, a secret organization established in 1816 by Vilnius University students including Adam Mickiewicz, Tomasz Zan and Józef Jeżowski. [1]
From 1826 he lived in Paris. During France's July 1830 Revolution, he served as aide-de-camp to General La Fayette.
