Russell was an English composer pianist and singer. <br/><br/>"He claimed to have written the music for over 800 songs. A more realistic figure is perhaps 300 including 80 or so written in the United States many of his melodies being reissued with new lyrics and titles . Among the most popular were the sentimental "The Old Arm Chair" and the melodramatic "Woodman! Spare That Tree!" He also composed rousing songs about traveling on land or sea and several descriptive multi-sectional pieces similar in style and emotional content to Italian operatic scenes. Some of Russell's songs were written as statements for social reform; these include "The Maniac" concerning the "barbarous" conditions of private mental institutions "The Gambler's Wife" on the plight of a deserted mother and child and "The Indian Hunter" on racial intolerance."

"The book contains an enormous amount of information much of which is based upon Dr. Harrison's own observations. The style is clear and the presentation log ideal. The monograph is heartily recommended to all who are interested in the study of the circulation. It can be read with profit and it is fair to add with pleasure both by investigator and practitioner." – Robert L. Levy American Heart Journal 1940 Vol. 19 Issue 1 review of the second edition. As for the author "Tinsley 1900–1978 would graduate from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1922 — where he was a classmate roommate and tennis doubles partner of Johns Hopkins' future surgeon-in-chief Alfred Blalock — and ultimately become "one of the most important and pivotal medical doctors in U.S. history" according to his biographer and protege James Pittman Jr. 1927–2014. Harrison is best remembered for Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine published in 1950 reprinted 16 times translated into 14 languages and perhaps the world's most-used and best-selling internal medical text. He was the first chair of medicine and dean of the Medical College of Alabama now part of the University of Alabama at Birmingham" – Neil A. Grauer Johns Hopkins Medicine.
