General Henry A. S. Dearborn, of Roxbury, died suddenly at Portland,
Me., on the twenty-ninth of July. He was a native of New-Hampshire,
and was born March 3d, 1783, and removed with his father to the county
of Kennebec in Maine in 1784. His father having been twice elected to
Congress from the Kennebec district, prior to 1801, and on the
accession of Mr. Jefferson to the Presidency, appointed Secretary of
War, his son Henry was taken to Washington, and educated at the
College of William and Mary in Virginia. In 1806 he established
himself in the profession of law, in which he continued but few years,
the excitements of public life having more attractions for him than
the quiet pursuit of that profession. He took a prominent part in the
politics, of the country, filled many important public stations, among
which was the collectorship of Boston, in which he succeeded his
father in 1812, and remained many years. He also distinguished himself
in literature, and by efforts for the promotion of public
improvements. He was a member of the Convention of Massachusetts for
revising the constitution of that state, in 1821, a member of the
Governor's Council in 1831, member of Congress in 1832,
Adjutant-General of Massachusetts in 1835, and at the time of his
death Mayor of Roxbury. He was a man of fine manners, cultivated mind,
and liberal views. While he held the office of Collector of Boston, he
improved the favorable opportunity to collect statistics relative to
the commerce of the country, and particularly that to countries
connected with the Mediterranean, which he embodied in a valuable
work, entitled _The Commerce and Navigation of the Black Sea_, in
three volumes octavo. In 1839 he published a series of letters _To the
Secretary of the State of Massachusetts, on the Internal Improvements
and the Commerce of the West_, containing extremely valuable
information on those subjects. He recently published a life of the
_Apostle Elliot_, to aid in the construction of a monument in Roxbury
to the memory of that celebrated missionary, and among his other
published writings is a _Life of Commodore Bainbridge_. He left in MS.
a work on Architecture, another on Flowers, and an extended Memoir of
his Father, embodying all his journal in his expedition through Maine
to Canada, his imprisonment in Quebec, and a vast deal of other
Revolutionary matter. He was constantly throwing off essays in various
