The Miller of Wandsworth: Or The Tragical Story of the Surrey Petition, 16th May, 1648 is a historical book written by Richard Lovelace and published in 1879. The book is set in Surrey, England during the 17th century and tells the story of a miller named John Childs who becomes embroiled in the political turmoil of the time. Childs is a supporter of the Parliamentarians and is involved in the Surrey Petition, which calls for the removal of King Charles I from power. However, when the petition is rejected by Parliament, Childs and his fellow supporters are accused of treason and are sentenced to death. The book follows Childs' tragic journey as he is imprisoned, tortured, and ultimately executed for his beliefs. Lovelace's work is a powerful commentary on the dangers of political dissent and the struggle for freedom during a tumultuous period in English history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
