Works He was editor of the Monthly Repository, and a frequent contributor to the Westminster Review, and published works on political and religious topics. An edition of his Works was edited by William Ballantyne Hodgson and Henry James Slack, and appeared from 1865. Family Fox was a friend of radical journalist Benjamin Flower. On Flower's death in 1829, his two daughters, Eliza Flower and Sarah Fuller Flower Adams, became Fox's wards. Fox separated from his wife Eliza nee Florance, a daughter of James Florance, in the 1830s, and, causing much scandal, apparently set up home with Eliza Flower and his children. Following the separation from his wife, Fox brought up his ward himself, living first in Stamford Hill and later Bayswater. After 1846, William J. Fox and his wife Eliza nee Florance were reunited for a time before his death on 3 June 1864. One of Fox's daughters, also named Eliza, married Frederick Lee Bridell. Both were accomplished artists.
