Fox was born in Falmouth, the son of a Quaker grocer. He kept a bookseller's shop in his native town, and is the person mentioned in Southey's Espriella, who, when his house was on fire and he realised that nothing could be saved, "went upon the nearest hill and made a drawing of the conflagration — an admirable instance of English phlegm." - PennysPoetry.
