His first original works were poems (1802). followed by Lucretia (1805) and other historical tragedies, and works of much strength. His subsequent pro- ductions were mainly lyric and more distinctively national and simple. These poems, gathered un- der various titles (1808-53). show powers undi- minished to the last.

After seeing diplomatic service and traveling extensively, he trx)k ])art in the Cri- mean War, and subsequently held a high position at the Court. He wrote lyric and epic poetry and one novel, Prince ficrbri/anyi (trans, by J. Curtin, 1893), after the manner of Sir Walter Scott. His chief literary achievement, however, was his dramatic trilogy.

After serving in the Min- istry of the Navy, he became procurator of the Holy Synod in 1805 and Minister of Public In- struction in 1866. In both positions his reforma- tory measures aroused violent opposition, and es- peciall.y through his imdue preference for the classical languages in the intermediate schools, and his petty tutelage over the universities, he incurred such widespread enmity that he was obliged to resign in 1880. Appointed president of the Academy of Sciences in 1882, he held the post of Minister of the Interior in 1883-85. He was the author of a history of the finances of Russia to the reign of Catharine II.

He took part in the defense of Sebastopol. and em- bodied his experiences in Hehaslopoi in Dcecniher, ISoli. Sebastopol in May, 1855, and Sebastopol in August, 1S55. These sketches immediately placed Tolstoy among the great pen-masters of the day. They painted the horrors of war, with its show heroes and real heroes, in the spirit of that cruel, cold-blooded realism which is the chief trait of Tolstoy's unyielding logic. It was naked truth and nothing else. At the end of the war Tolstoy resigned and went to the capital. A visit abroad in 1857 sowed the seeds of his dis- appointment in modern civilization, and Prom the Memoirs of Prince Nckhlyudoff (Luzern) was an indignant protest against the poverty and
