John Humphreys Davies

John Humphreys Davies (15 April 1871 – 10 August 1926) was a Welsh lawyer, bibliographer and educator.

[3] Davies's interest in Welsh literature is associated with O. M. Edwards at Oxford and his brother-in-law, T. E. Ellis.

Along with Sir John Williams, who became his President while Principal at Aberystwyth, Davies was involved in the movement to establish a National Library for Wales.

He collected many Welsh books and manuscripts and they became part of the National Library of Wales after his death.

He gained some support in that year as the new Liberal candidate for Cardiganshire in succession to Bowen Rowlands.
