"History of the Early Part of the Reign of James the Second" is a historical work written by Charles James Fox, a prominent British statesman and politician of the late 18th century. The book was published posthumously in 1808 and focuses on the early years of the reign of James II of England, who ruled from 1685 to 1688. In this work, Fox provides a detailed account of the political and religious developments during James II's reign. He examines the policies and actions of the king, including his attempts to strengthen Catholicism in England and his clashes with Protestantism and Parliament. Fox also discusses the controversies surrounding James II's attempts to expand his royal prerogative and his strained relationship with the English nobility and the Church of England. Fox's "History of the Early Part of the Reign of James the Second" offers a critical perspective on the reign of James II and the events leading up to the Glorious Revolution of 1688. It provides insights into the political, religious, and constitutional issues of the time, as well as the broader implications for the balance of power between the monarchy and Parliament. The book is regarded as an important historical account and a valuable source for understanding the political and religious conflicts of 17th-century England.‎
