Son of the famous physician-statesman, Benjamin Rush, and younger brother of the statesman Richard Rush, James Rush (1786-1869) was a physician, a physiologist, a psychologist and a thinker who sought to improve the American condition. He studied medicine at Edinburgh, graduated from Princeton in 1805, and received his M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1809. This is his first work and it was quite a success in its day, in that it provided "a medical approach to the subject [of Human Voice] followed by a detailed treatise on elocution." [DAB].
