Granville Sharp's book is a scathing denunciation of slavery and the slave trade in England. It argues that any claim of private property in human beings is unjust and immoral. The book is divided into four parts, each of which makes a compelling case against slavery. This book is an important historical document that sheds light on the abolitionist movement in England.

First published in 1794, A General Plan for Laying Out Towns and Townships offers a compelling vision of how urban planning can support and enhance agriculture. At a time when many cities were struggling with issues of sanitation, housing, and food supply, Granville Sharp's ideas were innovative and influential. This new edition of Sharp's classic text includes annotations and an introduction by historian Robin F. Bachin.
