[Eilidh Shrimpton · Rating 4 out of 5]

Zachary Macaulay provided the abolitionist movement with accurate information for their campaign, collated the evidence collected by others, and drafted reports on slavery. He was also governor of Sierra Leone from 1794 to 1795 and 1796 to 1799.

Faith Cook's book is easy to read and provides an excellent introduction to the life of a man whose contribution to the abolitionist movement deserves to be remembered.
