""A Historical Account Of The Luddites Of 1811-1813: With Report Of Their Trials At York Castle (1862)"" by John Cowgill is a detailed historical account of the Luddite movement that took place in England between 1811 and 1813. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the social, economic, and political factors that led to the Luddite uprising, as well as the various events that occurred during the movement. Cowgill also includes a report of the trials that took place at York Castle, where many Luddites were tried and sentenced to death. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Luddite movement, as well as the broader social and economic issues that shaped England during the early 19th century. Published in 1862, it offers a unique perspective on the Luddite movement, as it was written only a few decades after the events it describes took place.
