The outstanding example was in Garibaldi And The Thousand, where he made use of unpublished papers of Lord John Russell and English consular materials to reveal the motives which led the British government to permit Garibaldi to cross the Straits of Messina.

Not a bullet touched Cook who was nearer the ambush, but one hit Russell in the leg and another broke his arm, passing on through his body.

Georgia's Dick Russell objected politely, and the battle was joined.

This approach was continued by Russell and Whitehead in their influential Principia Mathematica, first published 1910-1913, and with a revised second edition in 1927.

Samuel Wilberforce, Bishop of Oxford and a friend of Disraeli's, spoke strongly against the measure and implied that Russell was paying off the Jews for " helping " elect him.

Lara was also a talented football player in his youth and often played with his close friends Dwight Yorke, Shaka Hislop and Russell Latapy while growing up together in Trinidad.

In the years after Grey's retirement the party was led first by Lord Melbourne, a fairly traditional Whig, and then by Lord John Russell, the son of a Duke but a crusading radical, and Lord Palmerston, a renegade Irish Tory and essentially a conservative, although capable of radical gestures.

As early as 1839 Russell had adopted the name Liberal Party, but in reality the party was a loose coalition of Whigs in the House of Lords and Radicals in the Commons.

The Whig-Radical amalgam could not become a true modern political party, however, while it was dominated by aristocrats, and it was not until the departure of the " Two Terrible Old Men ", Russell and Palmerston, that Gladstone could become the first leader of the modern Liberal Party.

The reburial was attended by sailors from the modern frigate HMS Chatham and a band from the Egyptian Navy, as well as a descendant of the only identified burial, Commander James Russell.

Designed by the American architect John Russell Pope, it was completed in 1938.

The Duveen Gallery, sited to the west of the Egyptian, Greek & Assyrian sculpture galleries, was designed to house the Elgin Marbles by the American Beaux-Arts architect John Russell Pope.

The Bronze Star Medal was conceived by Colonel Russell P. " Red " Reeder in 1943, who believed it would aid morale if there was a medal which could be awarded by captains of companies or batteries to deserving people serving under them.

Russell Patterson and Carolyn Wells ' New Adventures of Flossy Frills was a continuing strip series seen on Sunday magazine covers.

In 1958 he was, along with Bertrand Russell, one of a group of notables to establish the Homosexual Law Reform Society.

Bertrand Russell ( 1959 ) wrote, " Beyond doubt [...] he was one of the most original minds of the later nineteenth century, and certainly the greatest American thinker ever.

Collins was chosen as its Chairman, Bertrand Russell as its President and Peggy Duff as its organising secretary.

Russell argued that direct action was necessary because the press was losing interest in CND and because the danger of nuclear war was so great that it was necessary to obstruct government preparations for it.

The Committee of 100 was created as a separate organisation partly for that reason and partly because of personal animosity between Collins and Russell.

Russell T Davies was briefly a storyliner on the programme in the mid-1990s, also writing the script for the direct-to-video special " Viva Las Vegas!

In the 20th century, the philosopher Bertrand Russell expressed his criticism of Christianity in Why I Am Not a Christian, formulating his rejection of Christianity in the setting of logical arguments.

More recently Bertrand Russell sought to develop a formal language based on logical atoms.

He is well known for debating the existence of God with Bertrand Russell in a celebrated 1948 BBC broadcast ; the following year he debated logical positivism and the meaningfulness of religious language with his friend the analytic philosopher A. J. Ayer.

Russell was so struck by Peano's innovative logical symbols that he left the conference and returned home to study Peano's text.

In early theories of logical atomism, the formal relationship between facts and true propositions was theorized by Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein to be isomorphic.

During the late 1920s, ' 30s, and ' 40s, Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein's formalism was developed by a group of philosophers in Vienna and Berlin, who formed the Vienna Circle and Berlin Circle into a doctrine known as logical positivism ( or logical empiricism ).

The main influences on the early logical positivists were the positivist Ernst Mach, Gottlob Frege, Bertrand Russell and the young Ludwig Wittgenstein.

Contemporary developments in logic and the foundations of mathematics, especially Bertrand Russell and Alfred North Whitehead's monumental Principia Mathematica, impressed the more mathematically minded logical positivists such as Hans Hahn and Rudolf Carnap.

According to Carnap's " Logicist Foundations of Mathematics ", Russell wanted a theory that could plausibly be said to derive all of mathematics from purely logical axioms.

While his logical atomism resembles that of Bertrand Russell, the two views are not strictly the same.

The analysis of logical concepts and the machinery of formalization that is essential to Principia Mathematica ( 3 vols., 1910 – 1913 ) ( by Bertrand Russell, 1872 – 1970, and Alfred North Whitehead, 1861 – 1947 ), to Russell's theory of descriptions, to Kurt Gödel's ( 1906 – 1978 ) incompleteness theorems, and to Alfred Tarski's ( 1901 – 1983 ) theory of truth, is ultimately due to Frege.

Bertrand Russell argued that all of natural language, even logical connectives, is vague ; moreover, representations of propositions are vague.

In the late 19th century, an even more extreme form of phenomenalism was formulated by Ernst Mach, later developed and refined by Russell, Ayer and the logical positivists.

The logical formulation of pure mathematics suggested by Bertrand Russell in terms of a quantifier structure of propositions seemed more and more plausible, as large parts of mathematics became axiomatised and thus subject to the simple criteria of rigorous proof.

The name for this kind of theory was coined in 1918 by Russell in response to what he called " logical holism "; i. e. the belief that the world operates in such a way that no part can be known without the whole being known first.

This theory of descriptions was crucial to logical atomism, as Russell believed that language mirrored reality.

At the time Russell delivered his lectures on logical atomism, he had lost contact with Wittgenstein.

Russell found that certain logical contradictions could be avoided if names were considered disguised definite descriptions ( a similar view is often attributed to Frege, mostly on the strength of a footnoted comment in On Sense and Reference, although many Frege scholars consider this attribution misguided ).

In short, Russell argued that the syntactic form of descriptions ( phrases that took the form of " The aardvark " and " An aardvark ") is misleading, as it does not correlate their logical and / or semantic architecture.

While descriptions may seem fairly uncontroversial phrases, Russell argued that providing a satisfactory analysis of the linguistic and logical properties of a description is vital to clarity in important philosophical debates, particularly in semantic arguments, epistemology and metaphysics.

Moore also pioneered the use of logical analysis against the absolutists, which Bertrand Russell promulgated and began the entire tradition of analytic philosophy with its use against the philosophies of his direct predecessors.
