The Smugglers of Deal
A new series from the author of The Fighting Anthonys, set in 1790s England, just before war breaks out with France. In the years leading up to the England’s war with Napoleon, Cole Buckley lived a charmed life. Raised as a brother to the Earl of Belcastle’s children, he lived with his family in the manor house. At seventeen, desires for the opposite sex get Cole and his brother in trouble. The Earl sets both their futures in motion, as Phillip becomes a midshipman and Cole, a junior Army officer. But Cole’s father wants him to know what it is like to work, to understand the struggles of the common man until his commission becomes effective. Cole is sent to Deal to work in his uncle’s tavern. In Deal, Cole becomes a trusted friend to a known smuggler, where he learns the free trade. He finds himself in the arms of a lovely widow and the heart of a beautiful girl. He sees one of the tavern’s girls murdered. His friend is shot and an attempt on his family is made by the murderer. Cole rides with reckless abandonment through Customs raids and owler’s landings to apprehend the assassin.

Government and Politics in Kent, 1640-1914
Early modern Kent, with emphasis on changes in government from private patronage to a broader commercial and professional power base. This volume, the seventh in the Kent History Project, complements those already published on The Economy of Kent and Religion and Society in Kent between 1640 and 1914. The volume begins with an important new assessment of the impact of the Civil Wars and Interregnum in Kent, which challenges some of the interpretations of previous studies of this period of Kent's history. The major thrust of the volume is however the transformation of Kent'sgovernment from a system controlled by a small number of landed families into one in which, on the eve of the First World War, a much broader range of people from the commercial, industrial and professional classes was involved.There are also detailed studies of political radicalism in Kent between the late eighteenth and early twentieth centuries and of the impact of crime and the maintenance of public order. The text is supported by appropriate maps, tables and contemporary illustrations.
