The article discusses about the history of politician Charles James Fox in context of the book "The Early History of Charles James Fox" written by the George Otto. Fox was, according to Trevelyan, was first great statesman of the modern school. He held power since the first Reform Bill. With Lord Melbourne, indeed, he might claim kindred, but his lordship, in spite of his too frequent oaths and his late rising, was a quiet, humdrum, business-like person compared with the youthful rhetorician who found some recreation from his serious anxieties at Brooks's in playing at politics in the House of Commons. The truth is that the most marked characteristics of modern statesmanship have no relation to Fox but that of contrast.
