Joel Barlow, from Harper’s New Monthly Magazine, July 1856 Born: March 24, 1754, Reading, Connecticut.

Died: December 24 or 26, 1812, near Cracow, Poland, of pneumonia.

Buried: Churchyard in Zarnowiec, Poland.

While a college student, Barlow fought in the Battle of Long Island (New York, 1776). He graduated from Yale University in 1778, and was a well known author and politician during and after the American Revolution. U.S. President James Monroe appointed him as American ambassador to France.

Barlow’s publications include Hasty Pudding, Columbia, and the epic poem “The Vision of Columbus.” In 1785, at the request of the (Congregational) General Association of Connecticut, he corrected and enlarged Watts’ Psalms of David, supplying those omitted by Watts, and adapting it to American tastes. The work, published in 1786, went through various editions for many years. Its curious title is: Psalms Carefully Suited to the Christian Worship in the United States of America, Being Dr. Watts’ Imitation of the Psalms of David, as Improved by Mr. Barlow.
