Son of Rev. Thomas Clout, Arthur changed his surname to Russell, after an Independent or Congregational minister known for editing the works of Tyndale, Frith, Barnes, Dr. John Owen, and others. Arthur attended St. Saviour’s School, Southwark, and the Merchant Taylors’ School in London. In 1822-24 he was was at Manchester College, York. In 1825 he enrolled at St. John’s College, Cambridge, as a sizar, and in his freshman year won the Hulsean Prize, its subject being “In what respects the Law is a Schoolmaster to bring men to Christ.”

In 1829 Russell was ordained by Bishop Kaye of Lincoln, and became curate at Great Gransden, Hunts. In 1830 he became vicar of Caxton, a post he held until 1852. During his ministry there he published the following works:

  • The Claims of the Church of England upon the Affections of the People, 1832
  • Sermons for Fasts and Festivals; a Critique upon Keble’s Sermon on Tradition
  • Apology of the Church of England and an Epistle to Seignor Sapio Concerning the Council of Trent, translated from the original Latin of Bp. Jewell, circa 1840
  • Hymn Tunes, Original and Selected, from Ravenscroft and other Old Musicians, circa 1840
  • A Manual of Daily Prayer
  • Memorials of the Works and Life of Dr. Thomas Fuller

Russell’s first appearance as a hymn writer was in the third edition of the hymn book published by his father (first edition, 1813). In 1847 he published The Christian Life. In 1848, various of his own hymns, original, and translated from German, appeared in Hymns for Public Worship (London: Dalton Hospital). In 1851 he put out Psalms and Hymns, partly original, partly selected, for the use of the Church of England.
