Excerpt from Chambers's Repository of Instructing and Amusing Tracts
If we have at all succeeded in conveying an idea of Mr Fox's character, it will already be felt that he was a man of great poli tical wisdom, of immensely extended views, of the most unquestion able patriotism, and, in Spite of his own defects and failings, one who earnestly desired to promote the happiness of the majority. His heart was large, and embraced, as it were, the whole kingdom in its sympathies. He was very full, too, of faith in human nature. Experience could not teach him that moral scepticism, which induces men to doubt the results of actions the most harmless, when not regulated by secular prudence. He had an inexhaustible store of romance in his nature; he thought the passions and feelings of the heart might be allowed to develop themselves without injury, not remembering that we no longer live in that bella eta de l'oro,' when truth, as one of our poets expresses it, was on every shepherd's tongue.
