GREEN, Mrs. Mart Anne Eve- rett, whose maiden name was Wood, was born at Sheffield in 1818, and, in early life, resided in several parts of Lancashire and Yorkshire, and received an excel- lent education. Her intellectual tastes were fostered by the late James Montgomery, the "bard of Sheffield," an intimate friend of her father. In 1841 her parents removed to London, and having now freer access to libraries and MS. collections, she conceived the idea of compiling the "Lives of Princesses of England," the first volume of which appeared in 1849, and the sixth and last in 1855. Mrs. Green edited "Letters of Royal and Illustrious Ladies," published in 1846 ; " The Diary of John Rous," printed for the Camden Society, in ] 856 ; the " Letters of Queen Hen- rietta Maria," in 1857; and has contributed occasionally to period- ical literature, chiefly on antiqua- rian subjects. She has been in- trusted by the Master of the RoUs with the duty of calendering the State Papers in the Record Office. The papers of the reign of James T., 4 vols., were published in 1857-9,

and of those of Charles II. seven volumes appeared 1860-68. Mrs. Green was then requested to com- plete the calendar of the State Papers of Queen Elizabeth, left unfinished by the late Mr. Lemon, which, with addenda from Edward VI. to James I., forms 6 vols., pub- lished, 1869-1874. She is now occupied upon the papers of the Inter- regnum, of which 9 vols., are pub- lished, 1875-1883. In 1845 she married Mr. G. P. Green, artist, of Cottingham, near Hull, and of London.
