WRIGHT, Henry Clarke, reformer, born in Sharon, Litchfield County, Connecticut, 29 August, 1797; died in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, 16 August, 1870. For many years he was a noted lecturer on anti-slavery topics, and was an advocate of peace, socialism, and spiritualism, on all of which subjects his convictions were vehement, and were delivered with eloquence. At one time tie was conspicuous among the band of anti-slavery orators that assembled annually in New York at the anniversary of the American anti-slavery society, and by its earnestness enlisted the sympathy of the people. He was the author of "Man-Killing by Individuals and Nations Wrong "(Boston, 1841) ; "A Kiss for a Blow "(London, 1843 ; new ed., 1866) : "Defensive War proved to be a Denial of Christianity" (1846); " Human Life Illustrated" (Boston, 1849) ; " Marriage and Parentage" (1854); and " The Living Present and the Dead Past " (1865).
