What to Do?

N. Tolstoi Lyof

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. A voice from Russia - the voice, as it were, of a prophet -has proclaimed another and inexorable way. A nobleman, rich and famous, a popular novelist, a great land-owner, with every thing in his grasp that ambition might suggest, found himself face to face with this question. He had lived the idle, luxurious life of the upper classes, the world over, and thought to compound with his conscience by a dilettante system of money-giving. With this charitable object in view, he investigated the poverty of Moscow, which is exactly like the poverty of every other city,-paris, London, New York, Berlin, Boston, - and atter systematic examination he came to the conclusion that the mere giving of money only added to the existing evil.
