A close study of Ile^'cl, whose teachings were then in the ascendency, hrought him to con- clusions quite opposite to those of most of his friends. i"nder the inlluence of the dwtrines of I'roudhon. C'abet, and Ixmis Blanc, he became a rahid Westerner as distin^'iished frf)m the tslav- ophils. lie resigned his (iiivcrnmcnt position in 1842. an<l left Hussia in 1H47, after havinjr pub- lished, under the pseudonym of 'Iskander,' two works on |iliil(>s<ipliy as well as .several novels. He settled in Paris, was in full sympathy with the events of 1S4S, although not actively eupaged in them, and later was on intimate terms with Proudhon, Garihahli. as well as with many revo- lutionists in France. Italy, and Switzerland, and carried on a systematic agitation against the nb.solutist Government of Russia. Forced by the police to leave Paris, he was naturalized in Swit- zerland, and, founding a free press in London, published after 1S.'>7 bis weekly Kiilnkul i "The Bell"). From 1804 to 1807 he published it at tJeneva, and moved to Paris in IStifl. where he soon died of pneumonia. His literary activity began as parly as 18;)0. His wiuks are striking- ly brilliant, characterized by depth of thought and artistic form. His best-known novel, ^'ho Is to Hlaiiief ileals with the ipiestions of free- dom of feelings, family ndations. and woman's position in wedlock. The dominant idea is that it is futile to seek happiness by locking one's self lip within the narrow family interests away from society and the world. A great admirer of Western civilization, he was com- pletely disappointed in it when viewing it at close range, and was disgtisted with the mer- cantilism of the bourfieoixii; but saw a bright future for the working classes, and expected much from the ri'generntive power of Rus- sia, with her comnuinistic village sysU'in of the mir. These ideas he embodied in his Viim andcrn Vfcr (18,10; published in Russian, 1855: in French, 1870) ; and in his Letters frnm France and ftali/. in which he gives a keen analysis of the causes that brought on the revo- lutionary events of the time. He was a free- thinker in the broadest sense of the word, hence his negative .Tttitude toward all parties and creeds. His influence was overwhelming, the greatest secrets of the State and the Imperial household immediately finding their way 'into his paper, a copy of which was very often placed in the Emperor's room. But his popularity was undermined by his advocacy of the Polish rebel- lion, he having for a long time stubbornly refused to lend anv assistance, until finally persuaded by his friend Bakunin (q.v.). The circulation of the Kiiliikol. from over .1000 fell to about r,On. and Hcrzen finally stopped its publication.
