Excerpt from Mr. Verdant Green In tracing the records of the family, we do not find that any of its members attained to great eminence in the state, either in the counsels of the senate or the active services Of the field; or that they amassed any unusual amount Of wealth or landed property. But we may perhaps ascribe these Circumstances to the fact Of finding the Greens, generation after generation, made the dupes of more astute minds, and when the hour of danger came, left to manage their own afi'airs in the best way they could, a way that commonly ended in their mismanagement and total confusion. Indeed, the idiosyncrasy of the family appears to have been so well known, that we continually meet with them performing the Character of catspaw to some monkey who had seen and understood much more of the world than they had; - putting their hands to the fire, and only finding out their mistake when they had burned their fingers.
