One of Leavitt's major accomplishments was helping to provide the intellectual underpinnings of the abolitionist argument through his writing and publishing.

Leavitt published "The Christian Lyre" in 1831, the "first American tunebook to take the form of a modern hymnal, with music for every hymn (melody and bass only) and the multistanza hymns printed in full, under or beside the music". It later became one of the standard tunebooks used in the 1930s New England Revivalism movement. [Crawford, pg. 169]
Rev. Joshua Leavitt's son William was a Congregational minister in Hudson, N. Y. Aside from Rev. Joshua Leavitt, other members of the Leavitt family were prominent abolitionists.
