D. D Croswell Harry, an American journalist and clergyman, uncle of the preceding, born at West Hartford, Conn., June 16, 1778, died in New Haven, March 13, 1858. He was first publicly known as the editor of the "Balance," a journal founded by him in 1802 at Hudson, N. Y. Mr. Croswell, who was a federalist, wrote in the then prevailing spirit of bitterness, and became involved in many libel suits and prosecutions, celebrated at the time.. In one of these, for an article on Jefferson published in the "Wasp," a journal under his direction, Alexander Hamilton made his last forensic effort in his defence. Mr. Croswell afterward removed to Albany, and established a federal paper; but turning his attention to theology, he retired from journalism and took orders in the Episcopal church May 8, 1814. He became rector of Trinity church, New Haven, Feb. 22, 1816, and was in the latter part of his life almost as remarkable for the dignity and gravity of his deportment as he had been in his earlier career for its impetuosity. He published several devotional works.
