Abstract
- The article presents Chapter VII of the book "A Hundred Years Ago." It explores the life of British statesman Charles James Fox, who was noted for his natural talent. It states that Fox grew up to be a confirmed gamester, having to walk 56 miles for a wager and swimming round the Devil's Punch-bowl at Killarney, Ireland. It states Fox's selection as a member of the 'Ministry of all the Talents,' and made efforts to deal with the House's prevention of the Slave Trade.
