Of novelists, there are Mouranieff, Sagoschkin, and Batuschkoff. Balgurin is celebrated as a journalist. Nicholas Gertsch has rendered brilliant services in the cause of the national language, by publishing numerous editions of his Russian grammar, the best which has yet appeared. Nicholas established, at an early period of his reign, a rigid censorship of the press; and this measure has had the effect of retarding, in a very great degree, the free development of the intellec- tual resources of... the nation. The consequence is, a greater degree of ignorance among the priest- hood, and a lower grade of literary attainment among the teachers of the schools. Among the higher clergy, a man . Of extensive learning is an occasional phenomenon, due more to the influence of German theological erudition, which some- times succeeds in permeating the ranks of the ecclesiastics, than to the genius of Russian litera- ture. On the other hand, all the patronage and assist- ance which Nicholas extended to learning, in his dominions, were principally confined to the diplo- matic schools, and those of topographical surveys^ These he patronized with the partial affection of a OF NICHOLAS THE FIRST.
