  Lord John Russell
Russell entered Parliament in 1813 as the MP for Tavistock and during the 1820s he was a persistent advocate of extending the franchise and granting political equality to Roman Catholics.
Russell was Paymaster General in Earl Grey's Whig ministry of 1830-1834 and was one of the four members of the government who was made responsible for the drafting of the Reform Bill (1832) which doubled the British electorate.
Russell's alternate support for and dissent from Aberdeen's government policies during the Crimean War (1854-46) caused him to lose the leadership of the Liberal party to Viscount Palmerston.

Like Gottlob Frege, Russell's basic idea for defending logicism was that numbers may be identified with classes of classes and that number-theoretic statements may be explained in terms of quantifiers and identity.
Russell was born the grandson of Lord John Russell, who had twice served as Prime Minister under Queen Victoria.

 Bertrand Russell
Russell's contributions to logic and the foundations of mathematics include his discovery of Russell's paradox, his defense of logicism (the view that mathematics is, in some significant sense, reducible to formal logic), his development of the theory of types, and his refining of the first-order predicate calculus.
Russell's response was to introduce the axiom of reducibility, an axiom that lessened the vicious circle principle's scope of application, but which many people claimed was too ad hoc to be justified philosophically.
Russell's social influence stems from three main sources: his long-standing social activism, his many writings on the social and political issues of his day, and his popularizations of technical writings in philosophy and the natural sciences.
