1808184176London: Printed for William Miller by W. Bulmer and Co. 1808. First edition "Royal Quarto" large-paper issue. Fox started the work in 1799 but failed to complete it by his death in 1806; his nephew Lord Holland edited and published it. The History which covers up to 1685 "was the product of much original research and provided a fresh interpretation of the man and his methods which in many respects is thoroughly vindicated by modern scholarship. Fox was interested in the deeper underlying causes which helped to precipitate James's fall rather than in his personality itself. He thought that he had discovered these in the nature of the restored monarchy" Callow p. 10. The work was issued in demy quarto on "common paper" £1 16s in royal quarto on wove paper £2 12s 6d and in elephant quarto £5 5s.

Carss & Co. bookbinders in Glasgow on the verso of the fly-leaf. First edition. Fox began work on this text in 1799 with his large network of friends known as Foxites assisting with research. The book was published posthumously by Fox’s nephew Lord Holland who also served as editor. Fox had initially intended to treat events past the year 1688 in order to compare the virtues of William III with the failures of James II. However as he never completed the text the work ends at 1685. For him James’s reign represented a core issue within English culture and politics. As a Whig his history of England as encompassed in this work reflects is an ongoing struggle between the absolutist intentions of monarchs and the struggle of their subjects to assert their liberty. Indeed Fox he was a leading proponent of religious tolerance and individual liberty. His incisive analysis along with a detailed appendix of correspondence between Louis XIV and M. Barillon on English affairs as well as between the Earl of Sunderland and the Bishop of Oxford continues to be an important resource for historians.<br /> <br /> Fox 1749–1806 was a prominent Whig politician and historian. His career spanned almost forty years and over that time he developed some of the most radical politics seen in Parliament. For example as a vocal opponent of George III he dressed in the colors of George Washington’s army. He was also an abolitionist supporter of the French Revolution and advocated for religious tolerance. Fox was one of the most important figures in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century England and a hero among liberals and progressives. Printed for William Miller unknown

1802AQ19691London: s.n. 1802. 4pp; three pages of text with integral address panel. Some marking loss to folds and torn to seal opening. 'Did you ever consider the business of the K's Civil List in a legal point of view I mean to what revenues he is entitled by Law at his Access and by what Law. Blackstone is not at all explicit on the subject' A detailed inquiry by leading Whig politician Charles James Fox 1749-1806 on February 23rd 1802 on a distinct matter of law relating to the royal revenue and referencing Blackstone to the future Attorney General Sir Arthur Leary Piggott 1749-1819. Both Piggott and Fox were later to serve together in the Ministry of all the Talents but this autograph letter reveals the exploratory discussions amongst leading Whigs in the opening stages of greater Parliamentary scrutiny of the Civil List. Precipitated by rapid growth in the Civil List debt which had reached almost £900000 by January 1802 the situation provided an opening for Whiggish political positioning; on March 29th of the same year Fox railed against the situation in the House in a manner very much presaged in this letter arguing that the moment 'that Parliament exonerated the Crown from the expenses of levying fleets and armies.the hereditary revenues became the property of the public'. A significant manuscript displaying not only the political nous of the wily Fox - always scanning the horizon for an opportunity to return from the political wilderness that his opposition to the French war had forced - but also the growing constitutional significance of the problems of Civil List expenditure. .

One and a half pages written in black ink on letterhead paper from ""Gloriette"" the writer's residence in Nièvre. Transverse fold lines inherent to mailing. Fine letter to this fellow writer alluding to Poil de Carotte: ""Je suis au moins aussi content que vous. Certes je n'avais pas oublié le manuscrit où Poil de Carotte était si bien compris - et aimé - j'avais oublié la signature."" ""I am at least as pleased as you are. Certainly I had not forgotten the manuscript where Poil de Carotte was so well understood - and loved - I had forgotten the signature."" He mentions Gabrielle Réval's book: ""Et tant mieux ; car j'ai lu les Sèvriennes et non le livre d'une amie de Poil de Carotte. L'auteur seul a plu le lecteur seul a été touché. Il y a de belles réussites vous le voyez madame."" ""So much the better; for I read the Sèvriennes and not the book of a friend of Poil de Carotte. The author alone pleased the reader alone was moved. There are beautiful successes you see madam."" Jules Renard already enjoyed considerable success at this time: ""Il me répugnerait de jour au vieux maître sachez pourtant que j'ai déjà reçu bien des livres écrit bien des lettres en quelle proportion par politesse je ne sais plus mais aucune ne fut plus spontanée que celle dont vous me remerciez aimablement."" ""It would repel me to play the old master know however that I have already received many books written many letters in what proportion out of politeness I no longer know but none was more spontaneous than the one for which you thank me kindly."" The highly laudatory letter alluded to here is preserved at the Jean Jaurès Media Library in Nevers and was written by Renard a few days before ours: ""Ce n'est pas l'auteur des Sévriennes que je remercie c'est vous. C'est grâce à vous que j'ai lu par cette froide fin de mai entre la première rose de mon jardin et les dernières flammes de ma cheminée un beau Livre."" ""It is not the author of the Sévriennes that I thank it is you. It is thanks to you that I read during this cold end of May between the first rose of my garden and the last flames of my fireplace a beautiful Book."" Gabrielle Réval was one of the co-founders of the Prix de la Vie heureuse which would later become the Prix Femina. unknown
