Excerpt from Lectures on the Memory of the Just: Being a Series of Discourses on the Lives and Times of the Ministers of Mill Hill Chapel, Leeds, From Its Foundation in A. D. 1673, to the Commencement of the Nineteenth Century, With a Farewell Sermon, Delivered on the 14th of March, 1847

When a righteous man dieth, they of his own time mourn his departure, and record with melancholy plea sure the excellencies that were in him. He is in their hearts and their mouths so long as they live. Children who knew the estimation in which their Fathers held him, and who perhaps have themselves shared in the good man's smile, and received the good man's blessing, also hold him in an enfeebled it may be, though still an honoured remembrance. But the generation that had per sonal knowledge of him having passed away, he becomes no more than an occasional tradition. Some incident te calls his name to memory, some monument still records his virtues, or some study of the past endows his life with a recovered but momentary reality.
