Henry Davies (2 March 1804 – 4 March 1890) was a Wales-born journalist, publisher and librarian at Cheltenham, England who took an active part in the town’s political life, and edited the Cheltenham Looker-On for 57 years. ==Early life== Davies was the son of John and Ann Davies and was born at Bridgend, Glamorgan. Little is known of his childhood, but he had a good literary education, while at the same time becoming steeped in the traditions of Wales and the Welsh language. At the age of 18 in 1822 he wrote patriotic Welsh poetry that was read at the Brecon Eisteddfod.〔(Shawna Lichtenwalner ''Claiming Cambria: invoking the Welsh in the romantic era'' 2008 )〕 In his early twenties, he spent a few years in London, establishing friendships at the London Institution, and began his literary career by contributing both prose and verse to the ''Literary Souvenir'' and other publications edited by Alaric Watts. He was living at Throgmorton Street in 1826 when he wrote another "spirited poetic address" for the opening of the Brecon Eisteddfod that year. He was librarian of the Metropolitan Cambrian Society or Cymmrodorion Society in 1828 while John Parry was Registrar of Music.〔(Transactions of the Cymmrodorion or Metropolitan Cambrian Institution )〕 In 1829 he won a prize from the Metropolitan Cambrian Society for an essay in Welsh on "Settlement of the Normans in Wales".〔( The London literary gazette and journal of belles lettres, arts, sciences, 1829 )〕 He was appointed editor of the new Cambrian Quarterly Magazine but was asked to resigh before the first issue was published.〔(Radnorshire Society Transactions Vol 41 )〕 Pearson Thompson invited him to Cheltenham in 1830, to undertake duties at the new Montpellier Rotunda, where he opened the Montpellier Library, a subscription library. He appeared at the Beaumaris Eisteddfod in the same year.〔(Seren Gomer: neu, Gyfrwyn gwybodaeth cyffredinol i'r Cymry )〕 In 1832 he read a poem at the Royal Eisteddfod at Beaumaris attended by Princess Victoria.〔(The Gwyneddion for 1832: containing the prize poems, &c., of the Beaumaris Eisteddfod and North Wales literary society )〕
