''Smuggling And Smugglers In Sussex: The Genuine History Of The Inhuman And Unparalleled Murders Of William Galley And Daniel Chater (1749)'' by William Durrant Cooper is a non-fiction book that explores the history of smuggling in Sussex, England, during the 18th century. The book focuses on the true story of the murders of William Galley and Daniel Chater, two customs officers who were killed by smugglers in 1749. The author provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the murders, including the rise of smuggling in the area and the conflict between smugglers and customs officers. He also examines the investigation and trial of the smugglers involved in the murders, as well as the impact that the incident had on the community and the wider smuggling trade.Throughout the book, Cooper draws on historical records and primary sources to provide a comprehensive and engaging account of the smuggling trade in Sussex and the violent clashes that often occurred between smugglers and authorities. The book offers a fascinating insight into a little-known aspect of British history and will appeal to readers interested in true crime, smuggling, and the social and economic history of England in the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
