Entered King's College, Aberdeen, at the early age of twelve, and at eighteen took his M.A. degree. Served in a lawyer's office for a short time. Then, having begun to read with a view to the ministry, he studied in Edinburgh and Glasgow, and ultimately in Cheshunt College. In June 1843 Russell settled at the Congregational Church in Great Yarmouth, first as assistant minister and next as successor to the Rev. Alexander Creak. In 1857 he moved to the congregational Church in Tottenham and Edmonton. While holding that charge, he visited Belfast to observe the great Irish Revival, and came under its influence. After five years in the second church, Russell was attracted to a new church in Bayswater, whose chapel on Lancaster Road was built in 1866. Here he served until his retirement toward the close of 1888. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ BOOK SPECIFICATIONS 570 pages, paper.
