A History of the Early Part of the Reign of James II

''A History of the Early Part of the Reign of James II'' (1808) is a history of England during the first year of James II's reign (1685), written by the Whig MP Charles James Fox. It was left unfinished at his death in 1806 and was not published until 1808.
==Background==

Ever since the Glorious Revolution of 1688, the Whigs had appealed to that event as a great deliverance from the attempt by James II to set up an absolute monarchy. Fox (who was James' great-great-great nephew) was a staunch Whig and believed that his conflict with George III was similar to that between the Whigs of the late seventeenth century and James II. In August 1802, during the Peace of Amiens, Fox travelled to Paris to search the archives for his history. Talleyrand brought Fox into contact with the appropriate librarian and Fox would spend each day at the library.〔Mitchell, pp. 72-73.〕
Part of Fox's motive in writing it was to correct the Tory interpretation of David Hume's ''History of England'', who Fox considered to be "an excellent man and of great powers of mind, but his Partiality to Kings and Princes is intolerable".〔Mitchell, p. 189.〕 Fox was able to glean information from what his grandfather the Duke of Richmond had heard from the Duchess of Portsmouth and he consulted fellow historians William Belsham, Sir John Dalrymple, Andrew Stuart, Charles Butler. Through his aristocratic connections, Fox was also able to access the papers of some of the British nobility and through his French connections he was able to enlist the help of Talleyrand and Lafayette to access French archives.〔Mitchell, pp. 189-190.〕
