.In 1833, Greenleaf was named to the Royall professorship, and
in 1846 succeeded Judge Joseph Story as Dane professor of law at Harvard
University. Greenleaf contributed extensively to the development of Harvard Law
School, including expansion of the Harvard Law Library. He was retained as
chief counsel by the Warren Bridge group in the US Supreme Court case Charles
River Bridge v. Warren Bridge 36 U.S. 420 (1837) where the case laid down
the rule that public contracts must be construed in favor of states.
In 1848, Greenleaf retired from his active duties, and became
professor emeritus. After being for many years president of the Massachusetts
Bible Society, he died at Cambridge. Greenleaf's well-known work, a Treatise
on the Law of Evidence, is considered a classic of American jurisprudence.
Greenleaf prepared the original constitution of the Colony of Liberia.

Moses Greenleaf (1777-1834) was Maine’s pioneer
mapmaker. An outspoken advocate of Maine statehood and economic development, he
prepared his first map in 1815 [map 7] to accompany his demonstration that
Maine deserved independence: A Statistical View of the District of Maine
(Boston: Cummings and Hilliard, 1816). This map was the first to depict the
interior lakes and rivers of Maine with any degree of accuracy. Greenleaf’s
1820 reissue — the first map of the State of Maine — shows improvements in the
delineation of several features, including Moosehead Lake.
