Excerpt from Samuel A. Purdie: His Life and Letters, His Work as a Missionary and Spanish Writer and Publisher in Mexico and Central America

It is usual when those have passed away who by their greatness, their goodness or by their talents, or ambition and devotion to some special line of effort, and sometimes apparently at least by the force of circumstances, become land marks in society, or stand as mountain peaks before the world, for their surviving contemporaries, to leave in permanent form, some sketch of their life and labors, as a memorial to them and an historical record for others who follow them.

Such annals serve as an inspiration to the young leading them out to nobler and greater efforts in life.
