The Mouse Trap: Or The Welsh Engagement With The Mice is a book written by Edward Holdsworth in 1709. The book is a satirical work that uses the metaphor of a mouse trap to criticize the political and social situation in Wales during the late 17th century. The book is divided into four parts, each of which explores different aspects of Welsh society and politics. The first part focuses on the Welsh language and the efforts of the English government to suppress it. The second part discusses the Welsh gentry and their relationship with the English ruling class. The third part explores the role of the church in Welsh society, and the final part discusses the state of Welsh agriculture. Throughout the book, Holdsworth uses humor and irony to highlight the injustices and absurdities of Welsh life under English rule. The Mouse Trap is a significant work in the history of Welsh literature and political satire, and it continues to be studied and appreciated by scholars and readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
