The diary of John Rous (1584 1644) was edited for the Camden
Society in 1856 by Mary Anne Everett Green (1818 95). Rous kept
this diary between 1625 and 1643, when he was vicar of Santon
Downham in Suffolk, recording both local events and reports of
momentous happenings in Britain and abroad from Charles I's
accession to the outbreak of the Civil War. M. A. E. Green was
educated by her father, a Methodist minister, and began research on
historical topics in the British Museum Reading Room and other
London archives. She was recommended to Sir John Romilly as an
external editor for the Calendar of State Papers project, and was
the first to be appointed: her work became the standard which later
editors followed. Rous's diary is preceded by an introduction
placing its author in his family and historical context, and
Green's notes explicate references to the people and events
described."
