Written by Loren Reid.
Stock no. 1831000
Published by Longmans, Green and Co. Ltd.. 1st 1969. Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper.

Charles James Fox was one of the most colourful, complex and controversial figures of eighteenth-century England.

The scope, therefore, is that of a biography, with Fox's attainments as a speaker coming to the foreground at frequent intervals.

Inscription in ink to front endpaper. Light foxing to endpapers. Else contents clean. Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly browned to flaps. Musty odour present.
