And so, today, he who looks through Russia for Nicholas's works finds a number of great things he had done, but each is single, insulated, not preceded logically, not followed effectively. Take, as an example of this, his railway-building. His own pride and Russian interest demanded railways.

In that conference he gave especial attention to the snub-souled financier who had sneered at his love of Nature.
