MR. WILLIAM GREEN.
April 28. At Ambleside, aged 62, Mr. William Green of
Keswick and Ambleside. He had lived twenty years at the last
two places, in the midst of beautiful scenery. It was the
business of his life to study Nature, and to that business
he brough talents, perseverance, and enthusiasm. He knew the
recesses of the groves and woods, as well as the
stock-doves, and the cliffs and recesses of the fells, as
well as the ravines. He was witty and pleasant, and there
was a simplicity, a naivitié and
bonhommie, about the man himself, which any one who
conversed with him, or perused his works, could not fail to
be pleased with. - He published "Studies from Nature,
containing 78 outline engravings of scenery in Cumberland,
Westmoreland, and Lancashire, with descriptions," fol. 1809.
- "The Tourist's New Guide; containing a Description of the
Lakes, Mountains, and Scenery in Cumberland, Westmoreland,
and Lancashire; with some account of their bordering Towns
and Villages," 2 vols. 8vo. 1822.
