Relations and Rivals
For eighteenth-century merchants active in Newfoundland trade, competition was fierce. This raises the question of why some merchants succeeded when many failed. To answer this question, this thesis analyzes the diary of Benjamin Lester, a Poole merchant who operated out of Trinity during the 1760s. An examination of Lester's diary reveals that his social life played as important a role in his success as did specific business actions and decisions. During the 1760s Lester transitioned from trying to gain a strong foothold in Trinity as a planter, and expand his reach in Newfoundland, to placing greater importance on social connections in England by the 1770s. Since Lester operated on both sides of the Atlantic, and the social wealth that he accumulated in Newfoundland was transferred back to England, this thesis situates Lester within the contexts of the greater Atlantic.

Prophet Against Slavery
The revolutionary life of an 18th-century dwarf activist who was among the first to fight against slavery and animal cruelty. Prophet Against Slavery is an action-packed chronicle of the remarkable and radical Benjamin Lay, based on the award-winning biography by Marcus Rediker that sparked the Quaker community to re-embrace Lay after 280 years of disownment. Graphic novelist David Lester brings the full scope of Lay’s activism and ideas to life. Born in 1682 to a humble Quaker family in Essex, England, Lay was a forceful and prescient visionary. Understanding the fundamental evil that slavery represented, he would unflinchingly use guerrilla theatre tactics and direct action to shame slav...
