Henry Wellesley was a British scholar, who held senior positions at Oxford University, and who is remembered for authoring several books.[1] He was the fifth and last child of Richard Wellesley, 1st Marquess Wellesley and Hyacinthe-Gabrielle Roland. His parents married, but after all their children were born, so Wellesley's sons could not inherit his titles.[2]

Wellesley was Principal of Oxford University's New Inn Hall, curator of the Bodleian Library, curator of Ashmolean Museum and Taylor Institute.[2]

Two of the books he is known for are Anthologica Polyglotta (1849) and Stray Notes of Shakespeare (1865).[3]
