Excerpt from Russian Traits and Terrors: A Faithful Picture of the Russia of to-Day I may state here, what should be obvious enough without any express declaration, that neither these general asser tions nor the facts that I Shall presently bring forward to illustrate and support them, imply anything in the nature of censure or reproach. To blame a people for habits which are the outcome of conditions over which they had practically no control, would argue ignorance of their his tory and of the nature of morality itself. It would be just as reasonable to condemn the moth for eating woollen stuffs, or to wax indignant at the depravity of those female spiders of certain species of Epeirides, who coolly devour the males as soon as the latter have discharged their natural functions, as to allot praise or blame for conduct and principles which are practically as independent of the will of the nation as its physical type. One Should bring to the study of the ways and habits of men, no less than of animals, if the results are to be worth having, a spirit of intelligent curi osity equally free from prejudice and passion. When, therefore, I affirm that a careful survey of the facts of Russian social life warrants - nay, imperatively calls for - the employment of a standard of judgment widely dif ferent from that which we are wont to apply to other European people - the Russians being, as Burke would say, still in the gristle, not yet hardened in the bone of manhood - I merely state a fact which can at worst dis credit their spiritual or political guides, if proved to be the result of their negligence or malice. And even a Slight acquaintance with the facts of the case is sufficient to Show that an abyss divides Russian civilization from that of Western Europe on the one hand, and that this is, to a very considerable extent, the result of what may be termed artificially arrested development on the other.

Excerpt from Russian Traits and Terrors: A Faithful Picture of the Russia of to-Day The history of Russian civilization will, when written, furnish the most striking and convincing proof of the theory advanced by certain modern thinkers, that the loftiness or baseness of the ethical code of a people bears a strict relation to the degree of their intellectual enlightenment; morality being the ethical equivalent of a nation's mental attainments. For the theory of right conduct universally accepted and acted upon in Russia may be truly affirmed to be on a level with the egotistic principles or instincts which determine the unheroic actions of the average man and woman - which is another way of declaring it devoid of ideals. And that this low level of morality is in perfect keeping with the crass ignorance and brutalizing superstition in which the masses are still hopelessly plunged, is abundantly evident to all who possess even a superficial knowledge of the country and the people. Moreover, the efforts that have occasionally succeeded to an appreciable extent in raising the standard of morality in certain circumscribed districts of the empire, owe whatever success they have had to the spread of knowledge among the population; the fluctuations of the intellectual level having always made themselves immediately felt in the moral sphere.
