<p>Burleigh was an active reformer and member of the Unitarian denomination. In 1837, he went to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where, having been previously apprenticed in the printing trade, he published the <em>Christian Witness and Temperance Banner</em>. In 143, he became editor of the <em>Christian Freeman</em> at Hartford, Connecticut. From 1849-1855, he was an agent of the New York State Temperance Society. From 1855-1870, he was Harbormaster in New York City.</p>
|
|
<p>Burleigh contributed poems and hymns to various periodicals and journals. Many of these were collected and published as <em>Poems</em> (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: 1841). This volume was enlarged with additional pieces, and republished by Burleigh’s widow in 1871.</p>
