In 1837 he became professor of Hebrew at Andover Theological Seminary, and from 1848 until his death was associate professor of sacred literature there.[1] He was a founder of the Society for Ameliorating the Condition of the Slave and of the American Missionary Society.[citation needed] He died at Athens, Georgia, on 20 April 1852.
