Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Fox, Charles James (b. Jan. 24, 1749, Londond. Sept. 13, 1806, Chiswick, Devon, Eng.), Britain's first foreign secretary (1782, 1783, 1806), a famous champion of liberty, whose career, on the face of it, was nevertheless one of almost unrelieved failure. He conducted against King George III a long and brilliant vendetta; for this reason he was almost always in political opposition and, in fact, held high office for less than a year altogether. He achieved only two important reforms, steering through Parliament a resolution pledging it to abolish the slave trade speedily and, in the 1792 Libel Act, restoring to juries their right to decide not merely whether an allegedly libellous article had, in fact, been published but also what constituted libel in any given case and whether or not a defendant was guilty of it. Early life. Fox was the third son of Henry Fox, afterward 1st Baron Holland, by his wife, Lady Caroline Lennox, daughter of the 2nd duke of Richmond. Through his mother he was descended from Charles II of England and Henry IV of France. He was educated at Eton and at Hertford College, Oxford, where he acquired an extensive knowledge of the classics, to which he remained devoted for the rest of his life. His father brought him up without the least regard for morality and encouraged him, while still a schoolboy, to acquire extravagant and dissolute habits. He lost vast sums at gambling, and in 1774 his father, just before his death, paid the young man's gambling debts to the amount of

The son of an old, indulgent Whig father, Fox rose to prominence in the House of Commons as a forceful and eloquent speaker with a notorious and colourful private life, though his opinions were rather conservative and conventional. However, with the coming of the American Revolution and the influence of the Whig Edmund Burke , Fox's opinions evolved into some of the most radical ever to be aired in the Parliament of his era. He came from a family with radical and revolutionary tendencies and his first cousin and friend

Fox enjoyed periods of popularity, which he lost again owing to his coalition with North, his support of the India Bill, and on its rejection, his attempts to prevent an appeal to the country. Burns mentions him in 'A Dream', a satire based upon a pompous official birthday 'Laureate's Ode' by the then Poet Laureate, Thomas Wharton. Burns addresses the future George IV.

Words skip - about - login - register 1812 Chalmer’s Biography F / Charles James Fox [vol. 15, p. 46; majority text] Fox Charles James , one of the most illustrious statesmen of modern times, the second son of the preceding lord Holland , was born Jan. 13, O. S. 1748. We have already noticed that lord Holland was an indulgent father, and it has been said that his partiality to this son was carried to an unwarrantable length. That his father might have been incited by parental affection, a feeling of which few men can judge but for themselves, by the early discovery he made of his son’s talents, to indulge him in the caprices of youth, is not improbable; but that this indulgence was not excessive, may with equal probability be inferred from the future conduct of Mr. Fox, which retained no traces of the “ spoiled child, ” and none of the haughty insolence of one to whom inferiors and servants have been ordered to pay obsequious obedience. Nor was bis education neglected. At Eton , where he had Dr. Barnard for his master, he distinguished himself by some elegant exercises, which are to be found in the *' Musce Etonenses," and at Hertford college
