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.
