Sobre este artículo
New York, NY: Harper & Brothers, 1880. Ex-Library. Good. Cloth. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. New York, NY, Harper and Brothers, 1880. First edition. 8vo. Brown sand-cloth with gilt lettering embossed on spine, gilt top edge on text block, 470 pp. Charles James Fox was a prominent British Whig statesman whose parliamentary career spanned 38 years of the late 18th and early 19th centuries and who was the arch-rival of William Pitt the Younger. His father Henry, a leading Whig of his day, had similarly been the great rival of Pitt's famous father. He 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 War of Independence 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.. Antique ex-library with attractive hand-numbered and hand-dated library bookplate. Very few library markings (no pocket), top and bottom of spine chipped. Text block is tight, clean and appears gently read. Good condition..
