Excerpt from Golden Memories of an Earnest Life: A Biography of Whiting, Together With Selections From His Poetical Compositions and Prose Writings Soon after the close of my brother's earth-life, I began to be urged by friends - visible and invisible to under take the task of preparing for the press a résumé of his life and labors. I was assured, by those who best knew him and the world, that a record of his career and peculiar experiences could not fail to be of interest, not only to the many who knew him in his public capacity, but to a large class of minds who seek to learn concerning unusual phases of life and mental phenomena. Circumstances had rendered me the most - if not the only - suitable person to per form this labor. While, therefore, I felt keenly the re sponsibility of the undertaking, I felt equally that which would rest upon me should I withhold aught that might tend in the slightest degree to benefit the world or more deeply enshrine his memory. I accepted the task, and arranged my material as time would permit, but was not able to enter upon the work until January, 1872. Simultaneously occurred my eu trance upon the rostrum, but, for the succeeding four months, the most of my time was given to this work, and also the intervals between lectures since that time.
