Excerpt from Albert S. Pease, Selections From His Poems: With an Autobiography and a Genealogy of His Descendants After the death of Albert S. Pease, his mss were handed to his surviving chil dren. Too bulky for publication in their entirety, they have been carefully edited. Many of the poems have been omitted; others have been condensed or re-arranged. The Autobiography has been somewhat expanded. For the con venience of his survivors and their chil dren the Genealogy has been added. We trust that what is here put forth may prove of permanent value and may bring pleasant and grateful memories to many friends.
