Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Parliament Explained to Wales It has always been a matter of regret to students of Welsh history that so many of the most important political and social pamphlets relating to the history of Wales and Welsh institutions are practically inaccessible. Even the British Museum library, complete as it is in most directions, lacks a large number of pamphlets of essential value to the Welsh historian. The readiest way to supply this want is to reprint the rarer tracts, and this it is proposed to do in the present series. The tract which is here reprinted is of interest because (excluding the controversial works of John Penry) it was one of the first political appeals addressed to Welshmen. It has also considerable historical value as representing the views of a Welsh country gentleman of good position at one of the most critical periods in the history of the Principality. It will be remembered that Wales was Royalist to the backbone throughout the Civil War, and that the only portion of the country that showed any sympathy for Puritan ideals was the English part of Pembrokeshire. Nevertheless, there were a few thoughtful people here and there who regarded the policy pursued by the king and his advisers with no friendly eye, and amongst these we must count John Lewis, the author of this tract. He was the son of James Lewis, of Cwmowen, in Cardiganshire, by his wife Mary, daughter of Edward Morgan David Lloyd, of Glasgrug, Aberystwyth, and it is probable that he inherited Glasgrug from his mother, as he made it his place of residence. Of his early life little is known except what can be gathered from some remarks made by him in the preface to a book published in 1656.
