%* W. J. Fox was a pro>ninent figure in public life fro7n 1820 to i860. From a 

 weaver's boy he became M.P. for Oldham (i84'/-i862), and he will always be remembered 

 for his association with South Place Cliapel, ■where his Radical opinions and fame as a 

 preacher and popular orator brought him in contact with an advanced circle of thoughtful 

 people. He was the discoverer of the youthful Robert Browning and Harriet Martineau, 

 and the friend of J. S. Mill, Home, John Forster, Macready, etc. As an Anti-Corn 

 Law orator, he swayed, by the pozver of his eloquence, enthusiastic audiences. As a 

 politician, he was the unszverving champion of social reform and the cause of oppressed 

 nationalities, his most celebrated speech being in support of his Bill for National Educa- 

 tion, iS^o, a Bill which anticipated many of the featzires of the Education Bill of our 

 own time. He died in 1863. The present Life has been compiled from manuscript 

 tnaterial entrusted to Dr. Ga7-nett by Mrs. Bridell Fox.
