Portrait

There is an oil painting of Green on the external link to the RCS biography; and it is probably by Thomas Phillips. I'd prefer a more solid identification. Charles Matthews (talk) 08:43, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Last word and death

In his new book, The Body - a guide for occupants, Bill Bryson starts chapter 7, The Heart and Blood, with a quote from Green. " 'Stopped' - Last word of Joseph Henry Green (1791-1863) while feeling his own pulse". Seems unlikely, if he did indeed die from a seizure, as mentioned in this article (and has a citation needed added). Is anyone aware of the veracity of this account? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.212.129.70 (talk) 23:42, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

After searching for a while, it appears to be taken from the very works of JHG, as edited by his friend Sir John Simon. As he says : "[He] visibly noted to himself the successive feeble pulses which were but just between him and death. Presently he said 'stopped'; And this was the very end." ^[1]

I'll add it to the article right now. - LouftoVitier (talk) 21:41, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
