Mrs. G. was the daughter of that eminent comedian Mr. Hippelley, the predeceffor of Yates and Shuter. She began her career on the ftage of Goodman's-fields playhoufe, about the time that Mr. Garrick commenced the profeition of an actor.

In private life, Mrs. G. was an affectionate wife, a tender parent, and a steady friend. She has left be ind her two fons, the elder a captain of marine, the younger at prefent unprovided for. As an a Arefs, we have no one performer, on either of our stages, equal to Mrs. Green in the termagants, and few in the pert chambermaids, and various other comic and farcical characters.
