"The Life and Letters of the Rev. George Mortimer, M.A." by John Armstrong is a biographical account written in the mid-19th century. The work chronicles the life and correspondence of George Mortimer, a devoted clergyman in Canada West, focusing on his spiritual journey, friendships, and ministry. It presents an exploration of his character, relationships, and the profound impact of his faith. The opening of the memoir reveals the warm reminiscences of John Armstrong, a close friend of Mortimer, as he reflects on their long-standing bond.

It details Mortimer's early life, including his family background, his schooling, and the transformative power of his Christian faith, which inspired him to dedicate his life to the ministry.
