-------------------------------------------
Heny attended the University of Georgia, but graduated from Yale in 1806. After graduation, Carleton moved to Mississippi and in 1814, settled in New Orleans. He was a lieutenant of infantry under Gen. Jackson in the campaign that terminated january 8, 1815. He taught school for a while and then began reading law in the office of his brother-in-law, Edward Livingston. From 1832 to 1837, Carleton served as United States district attorney Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana, and from 1837 to 1839, he served as a justice of the Supreme Court of Louisiana. Due to ill health, Carleton resigned as supreme court justice and traveled extensively in Europe. He was in London, June 2, 1851; in Dinar, France, on the 20th April, 1852. He was back in New York on the 3d October, 1858. He was subsequently in Europe for more than a year, which he seems to have passed in the Island of Jersey. Upon his return to the United States, Carleton moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he resided for the rest of his life where he devoted much attention to Biblical, theological and metaphsical studies. Notwithstanding his early life in the south and the exposure of his property to confiscation by the Confederates, he adhered steadfastly to the Union during the civil war.
Henry Carleton translated those portions of "Las Siete Partida", a Spanish code of laws, that were observed in Louisiana. In 1857, he published "Liberty and Necessity; in Which Are Considered the Laws of Association of Ideas, the Meaning of the Word Will and the True Intent of Punishment".
