He was one of the leading figures in the Welsh Eisteddfod movement and did much to raise the standards of Welsh literature of his time. He was from a family of weavers at Bryn y Ffynnon. He was prominent in the Anti-Corn Law League, the Peace Society and the Society for the Liberation of Religion which sought to separate the church from the state.

In 1851 he published an important book of Welsh grammar. He edited many periodicals, including Y Sylwedydd", (1831), Tywysog Cymru (1832-1833), Y Seren Ogleddol (1835-1836), Year Adolygydd (1838-1839), Cylchgrawn Rhyddid (1845-1846), Year Amaethydd (1845-1846).
He assisted with Year Adolygydd (Cardiff, 1852-1863), Y Gwron Cymreig (1852-1856), Y Gwladgarwr (1863-1868) and Y Dysgedydd. He published Cyfarwyddiadur i Ddarllen ac Ysgrifennu Cymraeg ("A Guide to reading and writing Welsh", 1821).
