Excerpt from The Early History of Charles James Fox Charles James Fox, our first great statesman of the modern school, was closely connected with scenes which lie far back in English history. His grandfather, if not the most well-graced, was at any rate one of the best-paid, actors on the stage of the seventeenth century. Sir Stephen Fox was born in 1627. "The founder of our family," says the third Lord Holland, "seems, notwithstanding some little venial endeavors of his posterity to conceal it, to have been of a very humble stock;" and Sir Stephen's biographer and panegyrist, writing within a year of his death, has very little to tell which can destroy the effect of this frank confession.

Excerpt from Characters of the Late Charles James Fox With exceptions, many, I confess, and serious, to the criminal Code of this country, both in its provisions, and even its administration, I should generally adopt the lan guage of Dr. Johnson, that laws, enacted for the pro tection of property and the last result of human wisdom, 'founded upon human experience for the benefit of mankind. While they are unrepealed by the autho rity of the state, a good man will inculcate obedience to them, not only for wrath, but for conscience'sake, and bal lancing general against particular convenience, he will carry his own personal submission nearly to the extent for which Socrates pleads 'with the most'impressive eloquence in the well-known dialogue with Crito. Whatsoever disproportion he may see between crimes and punishments, and whatsoever measures he 'may employ to lessen that disproportion by the force of argument, he will yet remember that jurispru (lence is seldom at direct and unqualified variance With mo rality, that every crime forbidden produces some mischief to society, and that every punishment in icted confers some security.

Excerpt from Charles James Fox Under such circumstances I hope it will not be deemed presumptuous in me to attempt to present in a short and condensed form a sketch of the political career of Fox as a statesman, which may serve to recall to men's minds the part which he played at a very important crisis of his country's history. It is obviously impossible to com press within the limits of a work like this a complete history of the times or of the man. Much has necessarily to be left out, and, remembering that in this series I am specially called to deal with my subject as a statesman.

Excerpt from Charles James Fox: A Political Study The author of this volume is one of many readers in whom Sir George Trevelyan's Early Life of Cfmrles fame: Fox excited a sentiment which it is perhaps not an exaggeration to describe as a personal affection for the great Whig states man. The fulfilment of Sir George Trevelyan's promise to continue the story of that life is awaited with eager expecta tion. This book is in no sense a biography. It is an attempt to portray the great ideas Fox stood for, to vindi cate the essential consistency of his career, and to appreciate the magnanimous inspirations he gave to politics. If the aim of the book is not kept in mind, its proportions may strike the reader as unjust. No biographer of Fox could dismiss his early political career with the scant notice given it in these pages; in any study of the part he played in those large controversies that have a permanent interest, a pre ponderating importance must be assigned to the history of the struggle with the King, to the moral issues of the French war, and to the details of a momentous chapter in the relations of England and Ireland. These questions call for a minute treatment in a presentation of Fox as the champion, during the frenzied years of panic, of government by public discussion, and as one of the few Whigs who anticipated the great Liberal doctrine of national rights.
