That a great General like Bonaparte should be inclined to military means of effecting a military Government is less to be wondered at than lamented... by taking the common & beaten path of Ambition he has... done much against the liberty of mankind in every part of the world... The only good that could come from this Event, so pernicious to the cause of general Liberty, was Peace, and that you see our Ministers are determined to refuse.


Letter to Christopher Wyvill (8 January 1800), quoted in L. G. Mitchell, Charles James Fox (London: Penguin, 1997), p. 166.
