Contemporary quarter calf marbled boards spine divided by double gilt rules and lettered in gilt direct edges sprinkled blue. A touch of spotting pastedowns toned. Slightly rubbed a touch of wear to bottom edge. Armorial bookplate of Sir James Montgomery of Stanhope to pastedown. One of the ordinary-paper copies of this overweening flop: left unfinished at Fox’s death the manuscript was acquired by William Miller for an unprecedented sum and rushed into print in two printshops simultaneously. William Savage printed the ‘ordinary’ copies as here though still generously-margined while large- and extra-large-paper examples were produced by Bulmer using an entirely different setting of type. Several decades later the print run had yet to sell out and Miller barely recouped his investment. Fox’s actual writing an oratorical attack on the Stuarts from a Whiggish perspective based on original research in French and British archives was somewhat overshadowed by the excitement.

1808réf. 184176London: 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. Here the frontispiece is marked "proof" and has an ink correction "marked his censure" to "marked his mind". With the bookplate of Peter Leopold 5th Earl Cowper 1778-1837 to the front pastedown. Large quarto 348 x 281 mm pp. 3-4 xl 293 3 cli 1; bound without half-title and terminal advertisements. With portrait frontispiece by William Skelton from a bust of Fox by Joseph Nollekens.

1808réf. 17846London: Printed for William Miller 1808. FIRST EDITION. Engraved frontispiece portrait. Contemporary calf rebacked boards ruled in gilt; marbled endpapers; top fore-edge trimmed and dyed; despite very minor spotting on the frontispiece and title and excellent wide-margined uncut copy from the libraries of Bernard Gore Brett and Robert Buchanan Stewart 1829–1900 with their bookplates on the front paste-down and the small label of by J. 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. 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
