Abstract
Few figures in our political history have aroused such affectionate admiration among posterity as Charles James Fox. Not the least attractive feature of his personality is his love of classical literature. He is the supreme example of the scholarly statesman. Some may suspect that the legendary scholarship of our eighteenth-century statesmen did not extend beyond a few tags from Horace and Virgil, relics of a rigorous public school education. Of Fox at any rate this was not true. A study of his notes on the Classics shows him as a true lover of ancient literature and a fine scholar. It is not inappropriate that his bust should stand next to that of Porson in the Upper School at Eton.
