Excerpt from The History of the Smouse Family of America

Mr. Emerson says, "No man is worth his room in the world who is not commanded by a legitimate object of thought." Again he says, "The few superior persons in each community are so by their steadiness to reality and their neglect of appearances." What he says of persons in both statements may with equal propriety lie said of books.

The author who is "commanded by a legitimate object of thought," has the first requisite necessary to make a book "worth its room in the world." and if he writes a book animated by "its steadiness to reality and neglect, of appearances," it ought to have a place in the world.

Books like people have various ways of getting into their places in the world. This book comes and seeks its place by force of circumstances which could not well be resisted. The circumstances need not be enumerated. But the chief circumstance. or primary object was to give an historical and biographical sketch of the family in America.

It may seem selfish to mention the amount of labor that has been necessary in the accumulation of so much data, and this seems the proper place to express how much the author is indebted to George Smousc, Elmer S. Burket and John M. Smouse, members of the Committee on Data, and also the Rev. J. M. S. Isenberg, B. D., for the facts, and in many instances the very language herein given. But in a multitude of instances the facts refused to appear in suitable and concise form, and so had to be fashioned and rewritten.
