The title was also held in the 1830s and '40s by two inspector-generals of Wallachia's schools, Ion Heliade Rădulescu and Constantin N. Brăiloiu, as well as by painter Constantin Lecca. The former complained that the appointment was insignificant, since such titles were being offered to all educated youth, turning each one into a "servant of the servants, a nobody among the nobodies." Before the Wallachian Revolution of 1848, which sought to outlaw boyar ranks, the father of revolutionary Gheorghe Magheru also served as "Paharnic" and administrator of Romanați County. Another "Paharnic", the poet Grigore Alexandrescu, discarded his rank and job in the bureaucracy to participate in the revolutionary events.
