Excerpt from Tolstoy and His Message While he is still a boy, the family remove to Moscow. When Leo was eleven years Old, a pupil in a gymnasium spent a Sunday with them, and informed the children of the latest discovery at school, namely that there was no God, and that all that was taught on the subject was an invention. I remember well, he says, how interested my Older brothers were in this news; I was admitted to their deliberations, and we all eagerly accepted the theory as something particularly attractive and possibly quite true.

It was in Chicago in the winter of 1895- 1896 that I made the acquaintance of Samuel Milton Jones. We had both been invited to some kind of a conference and were entertained at one of the settlements of the city. His fame had not reached me at that time, for he had not yet entered politics and the reports of his strange doings in the field of business had not traveled as far as New York, but I was attracted at once by the open and childlike way in which he expressed his extreme democratic views to everyone. There was in the house in which we stayed a crippled man of unprepossessing appearance who looked after the furnace and did other odd jobs in the cellar. He was, if I am not mistaken, a reclaimed tramp, one of the fruits of the good work of the residents. It was not long before Jones had discovered him, and they were soon old friends. By a certain instinct he carried his brotherly feeling where it was most needed and where it would be most valued. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Ernest Howard Crosby was born in New York City in 1856, the son of Rev. Howard Crosby and Margaret (Givan) Crosby, belonged to a family distinguished for its wealth, ability, and philanthropy. His early life was passed in his birthplace, New York City.
He graduated from the New York University in 1876 and from Columbia Law School in 187.
He was admitted to the bar in 1881. He was elected to the legislature in 1887, as the successor of Theodore Roosevelt.
Upon his retirement in 1889 he was nominated by President Harrison as a judge of the International Court in Egypt, upon which he served until 1894. Up to this time he had believed that the political problems of the day could be solved without any radical changes in society, but now the reading of Tolstoy led him to more revolutionary views.
He resigned his position and started home, stopping on the way to visit the Russian leader, by whom he was bidden to seek out “the greatest living American, ” Henry George.
Crosby followed this advice, with the result that he became an ardent advocate of Henry George’s single-tax program. Disowning, and disowned by, his former associates, he again settled in New York and devoted himself fervently to various movements for social betterment. Antimilitarism, industrial arbitration, vegetarianism, and settlement work shared his allegiance with the single tax.
He died on November 4, 1856 in Baltimore.
His book, Plain Talk in Psalm and Parable (1899), was widely commended by such writers as Björnson, Kropotkin, and Zangwill. He was one of the founders and the first president of the Social Reform Club which was particularly concerned with the interests of labor. His ethical idealism also found expression in Edward Carpenter: Poet and Prophet. (1901); Captain Jinks, Hero (1902), a satirical novel; Shakespeare’s Attitude toward the Working Classes (1902) ; Tolstoy and His Message (1903); Tolstoy as a School-Master (1904) ; William Lloyd Garrison, Non-Resistant and Abolitionist (1905); Golden Rule Jones, Mayor of Toledo (1906). Of more permanent literary value were his poems, Plain Talk in Psalm and Parable (1899), Swords and Plowshares (1902), and Broad-Cast (1905), all written in a free verse reminiscent of Walt Whitman, but expressive of a genuine and at times impassioned aspiration.

Although a remarkably handsome man himself, Crosby had little appreciation of sensuous beauty; beauty of character, however, he understood and to a high degree exemplified.
He was a vegetarian.
He was married to Fanny Schieffelin in 1881. Their children were Margaret Eleanor and Maunsell Schieffelein Crosby.
