C. H. A. Dall

"Rev. Charles H. A. DALL, son of James Dall, of Boston, and Henrietta (Austin) Dall, of New Haven, was born in Baltimore, Md., and is of Scotch descent, three generations of the family having lived in this country. He graduated at Harvard College in 1837, went to St. Louis with Rev. William G. Eliot, and then, after having spent a year in Europe, was Minister at Large in Baltimore. Leaving Baltimore at the end of three years on account of ill-health, he was settled successively at Portsmouth, N.H., Needham, Mass., and Toronto, Canada. His zeal in missionary work, together with the necessity of seeking some more congenial climate, took him, in February, 1855, to Calcutta, India, where he has since remained in the service of the American Unitarian Association, and at the head of the Mott Street Art School, earnestly laboring for nearly twenty years to teach the natives in various branches of knowledge, and to disseminate far and wide the views and sentiments of a Liberal Faith. With this object in view, he has from time to time visited different parts of the country, and circulated copies of hundreds of his sermons and lectures. He has also written many fine hymns and poems, some of which have been published in our periodicals..."
