The book Memoirs of Granville Sharp: Composed From His Own Manuscripts by Prince Hoare is a biography of Granville Sharp, a prominent British abolitionist and philanthropist of the 18th century. The book is based on Sharp's personal manuscripts and covers his life from his childhood to his death in 1813. The biography details Sharp's early years as a clerk in the civil service, his involvement in the anti-slavery movement, and his pioneering work in the field of English law. Sharp is credited with helping to establish the legal basis for the abolition of slavery in the British Empire, and the book explores his efforts to promote the rights of enslaved Africans and to challenge the legal system that supported the slave trade. The book also delves into Sharp's personal life, including his relationships with family members, friends, and colleagues. It provides insight into his religious beliefs, his views on politics and society, and his commitment to social justice. Overall, Memoirs of Granville Sharp is a comprehensive and engaging account of the life and legacy of one of the most important figures in the history of the abolitionist movement. It offers a unique perspective on the social and political climate of 18th century Britain, and sheds light on the struggles and triumphs of those who fought for freedom and equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
