Dana, Richard Henry, 1787-1879 Poet and essayist; born in Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 15, 1787; son of Francis Dana; chose the profession of law, but his tastes led him into literary pursuits. In 1814 he and others founded the North American review, of which he was sole conductor for a while. He closed his connection with it in 1820.

In 1827 his most celebrated poetical production, The buccaneer, was published, with some minor poems.
