A Representation of the Injustice and Dangerous Tendency of Tolerating Slavery - Cambridge Library Collection - Slavery and Abolition

Granville Sharp (1735–1813) undertook legal research to oppose slavery, and in 1769 published this work to demonstrate that slavery has no basis in English law. In 1772, the case of James Somerset was brought before Lord Mansfield, who upheld Sharp's contention, effectively freeing all slaves in England.
