 In 1829, inspired by Johann Gottfried Herder, Stanevičius published "Dainos žemaičių" ("Songs of the Samogitians"), a sample of 30 of the most artistic and valuable Samogitian folk songs from his 150-song collection.Four years later he published an addendum ("Pažymės žemaitiškos gaidos") with melodies for these songs.He is best remembered for the publication of "Šešios pasakos" ("Six Fables"), a book of six fables and odes "Žemaičių šlovė" ("The Samogitians' Glory") written by Stanevičius himself.
