GREEN, MATTHEW (1696-1737)

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 534 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GRA-GUI
GREEN, MATTHEW (1696-1737) , English poet, was born of Nonconformist parents. He had a post in the custom
house
 , and the few anecdotes that have been preserved of him show him to have been as witty as his poems would lead one to expect. He died unmarried at his lodging in Nag's Head Court, Grace-church
Street
 , in 1737. His Grotto, a poem on Queen Caroline's grotto at Richmond, was printed in 1732; and his
chief
  poem, The
Spleen
 , in 1737 with a
preface
  by his friend Richard
Glover
 . These and some other short poems were printed in Dodsley's collection (1748), and subsequently in various editions of the British poets. They were edited in 1796 with a
preface
  by Dr
Aikin
  and in 1883 by R. E. A. Willmott with the poems of Gray and others. The
Spleen
  is an epistle to Mr Cuthbert Jackson,
The funds thus acquired were, to a large extent, expended in making public improvements. A clause inserted in all deeds forbade the sale of intoxicating liquors on the land concerned, under pain of the reversion of such property to the colony. The initiation fees ($5) were used for the expenses of locating the colony, and the membership certificate fees ($15o) were expended in the construction of irrigating ditches, as was the money received from the sale of town lots, except about $13,000 invested in a school building (now the Meeker Building). Greeley was organized as a town in 1871, and was chartered as a city of the second class in 1886. The "
Union
  Colony of Colorado" still exists as an incorporated
body
  and holds reversionary rights in streets, alleys and public grounds, and in all places " where intoxicating liquors are manufactured, sold or given away, as a beverage."
See Richard T. Ely, " A Study of a ' Decreed ' Town," Harper's Magazine, vol. 1o6 (19021903), p. 390 sqq.
