    “The works of that remarkable writer, Prentice Mulford (of whom the grave and reasonable Whittier wrote a memorial verse of almost measureless praise), give in brief and popular form a wonderfully practical outline to a creed that might else seem to many to belong to a world of dreams and impracti- cable ideas. He spoke to busy men and women and met them on their own lines. But those who care to see his purpose will find the words capable of great expansion and high applica- tion.”—Clifford Harrison, Notes on the Margins, p. 174. “ Unnoted as the setting of a star He passed ; and sect and party scarcely knew When from their midst a sage and seer withdrew To fitter audience, where the great dead are In God’s republic of the heart and mind Leaving no purer, nobler soul behind.” J. G. Whittier.
