1808réf. LTH28-B-2London: William Miller 1808. Leather. Very Good. 10.5" by 9". None. An fascinating historical work by Charles James Fox charting the the beginning of James II's reign over Britain. First edition. Fox was engaged in writting this history for may years however he died before it was completed. It was published incomplete due to the reputation of the author. With an engraving of Fox by Evans to frontispiece after a drawing by Howard from the last bust by Nollekens in the possession of Lord Holland. Charles James Fox PC 1749 - 1806 styled The Honourable from 1762 was a prominent British Whig statesman whose parliamentary career spanned thirty-eight years and who was particularly noted for being the arch-rival of William Pitt the Younger. James II & VII 1633 - 1701 ruled England and Ireland as James II and Scotland as James VII from 1685. He was the last Roman Catholic monarch to reign over the Kingdoms of England Scotland and Ireland. Members of Britain's political and religious elite increasingly opposed him for being pro-French and pro-Catholic and for his designs on becoming an absolute monarch. When he produced a Catholic heir the tension exploded and leading nobles called on William III of Orange his son-in-law and nephew to land an invasion army from the Netherlands which he did. James fled England and thus was held to have abdicated in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. He was replaced by William of Orange who became King as William III ruling jointly with his wife James's daughter Mary II. Thus William and Mary both Protestants became joint rulers in 1689. James made one serious attempt to recover his crowns when he landed in Ireland in 1689 but after the defeat of the Jacobite forces by the Williamite forces at the Battle of the Boyne in the summer of 1690 James returned to France. He lived out the rest of his life as a pretender at a court sponsored by his cousin and ally King Louis XIV. Rebacked with original calf board preserved with minor repairs. Externally generally smart just with slight wear to extremities and marks to boards. Evidence of worming to joints and hinges only. With evidence of previous bookplate to front pastedown. Internally firmly bound. Pages are generally bright with slight scattered foxing and slight tidemarks to first few pages. Ink inscriptions to half title. Very Good William Miller hardcover

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 books
