Known as a strong orator, he made the valedictory speech at the 1759 Commencement, and later delivered the funeral sermon for Tutor Henry Flynt (1675-1760) in Holden Chapel in February 1760. Lovell worked as a Boston schoolmaster after graduation from Harvard, and was an active member of the Sons of Liberty. The British arrested Lovell as a dissident on June 29, 1775 and he was imprisoned until November 1776. On January 8, 1777, Lovell was elected to the Continental Congress and served until 1782. Lovell was a Boston tax collector from 1784 to 1788 and Customs Officer of Boston in 1778 and 1789, before being promoted to a federal Collectorship in 1809. Lovell died on July 15, 1814.".
