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. .
