 Lord Russell by Karl Marx 1855
The great repute in which Lord John Russell has been held and the prominent role which he has dared to play for over a quarter of a century would be even more incredible if the “number of estates” which his family has usurped did not furnish the clue to the puzzle.
The sham power Lord John Russell periodically wielded was not only sustained by the influence exerted by the family of the Duke of Bedford, whose younger son he was, but also by the absence of all the qualities which generally fit a person to rule over others.
So minute were Lord John Russell’s reform efforts during his antediluvian career from 1813 to 1830; but minute as they were, they were not even sincere, and he never hesitated to repudiate them as soon as he perceived merely the scent of a ministerial post.

 Stroud Political History - John Russell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Lord John’s ministerial record is impressive and his commitment to reform – social and constitutional – is almost impossible to emulate, yet, curiously, he remains something of an enigma and, to some extent, over shadowed by Peel, Palmerston, Disraeli and Gladstone.
Physically, Russell was only 5 feet 4 ¾ inches, suffered from bouts of ill health and had a ‘rickety’ voice; but he prevailed, in those days of shifting political alliances and loose party structures, through his sheer force of character and intelligence.
Russell’s own first government, formed not long after his spell as MP for Stroud, introduced several important measures including the Education Act to increase teachers’ pay and the Factory Act to improve working conditions.
