Newcomers: The Story of Anthony and Grietje and the Founding of New York
Alan Mikhail
Liveright Publishing Corporation
2026
sidottu
A man thought to be Muslim from Morocco and a German barmaid are hardly the image we have of America's founders. In Newcomers, Alan Mikhail upends the traditional story of American beginnings through the tale of Anthony "the Turk" and Grietje Reyniers. Married in Amsterdam, they arrived in 1630s Dutch New Amsterdam, hoping to forge a new life. Always outsiders in the young colony, they battled Dutch authorities, brawled with neighbors, and seized land from Native Americans. In this revisionist portrait of the early American family, we learn of anti-Muslim sentiment through Anthony and of female defiance through Grietje. Eventually banished from Manhattan to Long Island, Anthony and Grietje farmed, prospered, and raised a family whose descendants included the Vanderbilts and President Harding. Promising "to change the way we understand Colonial Gotham's formative first years" (Susanah Shaw Romney), Alan Mikhail's Newcomers provides revelatory insights into the seventeenth-century origins of New York.

Jim Anthony is no ordinary sleuth. Born of Irish and American Indian blood, heir to vast wealth and blessed with almost superhuman senses and strength, he sees in the dark like a cat, tracks like a hound, and hears what others cannot. A brilliant scientist as well, Anthony fashions uncanny inventions in his laboratory and deploys them in battles against sabotage, murder, and baffling conspiracies-for country and for justice. In these final five pulse-quickening tales by Robert Leslie Bellem and W.T. Ballard, the high-powered detective faces deadly plots from the air and the earth, ruthless killers and uncanny curses, each episode more relentless than the last. This volume collects the concluding Jim Anthony stories restored and uncut for modern readers. If you love pulp adventure, scientific gadgetry, and a hero who fights with brains as well as brawn, finish the run with Jim Anthony's grand finale.
The Diaries of Anthony Ashley-Cooper, the Seventh Earl of Shaftesbury: Vol. 2, Part Two
LIVERPOOL UNIVERSITY PRESS
2026
sidottu
Lord Ashley (later the 7th Earl of Shaftesbury) is perhaps best known to social historians as the ‘Poor Man’s Earl’, the aristocratic philanthropist whose concern for suffering and the oppressed victims of Victorian ‘progress’ saw him champion a range of social, industrial, educational, and health reforms. The diaries contain detailed accounts of his labours, religious and philosophical reflections, self analysis, and descriptions and criticisms of contemporaries, and offer thereby a fascinating insight into Victorian politics and social change. In 1851 Ashley was raised to the peerage as the seventh Earl of Shaftesbury and Vol. 2, Part Two contains his reflections on the nature of aristocratic government in the face of the challenges posed by the rise of democracy. From the House of Lords Shaftesbury remained committed to those questions of social improvement and reform, adapting his work and approach to the expectations and demands of his altered parliamentary position. Concerns about slavery, especially in the US, also feature prominently in these years. The earldom brought Shaftesbury new estate responsibilities and the challenge of becoming a substantial landlord is fully represented here. Alongside the public career, Shaftesbury’s private life is fully documented, particularly the fates and fortunes of his children, none more so that the future eighth Earl whose uneasy transition from schoolboy to navy sailor is mapped out, including his involvement in the Crimean War.

Lord Ashley (later the 7th Earl of Shaftesbury) is perhaps best known to social historians as the ‘Poor Man’s Earl’, the aristocratic philanthropist whose concern for suffering and the oppressed victims of Victorian ‘progress’ saw him champion a range of social, industrial, educational, and health reforms. The diaries contain detailed accounts of his labours, religious and philosophical reflections, self analysis, and descriptions and criticisms of contemporaries, and offer thereby a fascinating insight into Victorian politics and social change. Vol. 2, Part One opens as Ashley loses his parliamentary seat in Dorset and faces an uncertain political future, yet he remained committed, as ever, to a variety of causes, not least factory and child labour reform, mental health care, housing, sanitary reform and public health, and the provision of meaningful education through ragged schools, while all the time advancing the cause of religion and the protecting the position of the Church of England. As famine struck Ireland in the mid-1840s and revolution shook much of Europe in 1848/9, Ashley confronted a world in flux in which political priorities and identities shifted, and his philanthropy acquired ever more important, yet contested, meanings.
