The following biographical sketch of Timoth Green, the printer of this volume is from The New England Geneological and Historical Register (1862), published by the New England Historic & Geneological Society
MR. TIMOTHY GREEN, printer, was the eldest son of Deacon Timothy. He became associated in the printing business in Boston, with Samuel Kneeland, in 1727. About this time they started the fourth newspaper printed on the continent, The New England Journal. After a few years this was united with the Boston Gazette, the second newspaper established in the British colonies of North America. The two papers were united under the title of The Boston Gazette and Weekly Journal. The partnership of Kneeland & Green continued for twenty- five years. In 1752, Green removed to New London, and became the acting manager in his father's business, the whole of which was soon resigned to him. He succeeded his father as printer of the colony; and at this time there was no other press in Connecticut. He commenced the publication of the New London Summary and Weekly Advertiser, Aug. 8, 1758. This was the second establishment of the kind in the colony. After a life of industry and usefulness, he died Oct. 3, 1763.
