Excerpt from Elihu Burritt: A Memorial Volume Containing a Sketch of His Life and Labors
The number of men is very limited, in any century, who devote their talents and energies to the promotion and advancement of some special work bearing upon the public weal. Most men become more or less absorbed with business cares and professional engagements, making themselves successful by the faithful discharge of personal duties and obligations in a limited sphere of action. As good Citizens, neighbors, and friends they live, and when they pass away their memories will, for a time, be fondly Cherished by those among whom they dwelt.
