This book delineates the discovery of a previously unknown
manuscript of a letter from Granville Sharp, the first British
abolitionist, to the "Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty." In the
letter, Sharp demands that the Admiralty bring murder charges
against the crew of the Zong for forcing 132 enslaved Africans
overboard to their deaths. Uncovered by Michelle Faubert at the
British Library in 2015, the letter is reproduced here, accompanied
by her examination of its provenance and significance for the
history of slavery and abolition. As Faubert argues, the British
Library manuscript is the only fair copy of Sharp's letter, and
extraordinary evidence of Sharp's role in the abolition of slavery.
