Ernest Howard Crosby


Born
New York City, The United States

Ernest Howard Crosby (1856–1907) was an American reformer, georgist, and author. He was educated at New York University and the Columbia Law School and served on the New York State Assembly. From 1889 to 1894, he was judge of the Court of the First Instance at Alexandria, Egypt.

Crosby became an exponent of the theories of Count Tolstoy, whom he visited before his return to America; his relations with the great Russian later ripened into intimate friendship, and he devoted himself in America largely to promulgating Tolstoy's ideas of universal peace.

Quotes by Ernest Howard Crosby  (?)

“Take up the White Man’s burden,
And teach the Philippines
What interest and taxes are
And what a mortgage means.
Give them electrocution chairs,
And prisons, too, galore,
And if they seem inclined to kick,
Then spill their heathen gore.
They need our labor question, too,
And politics and fraud—
We’ve made a pretty mess at home,
Let’s make a mess abroad.”
