| Description | Green thinks that the Society should make amends for the injury done to him. Soon after he qualified, Green was appointed as an advisor to the Board of Trade on eyesight and colour vision. He was refused the opportunity to sit on the Royal Society's committee on colour vision, which decided in favour of the wool test. Green's connection with the Board of Trade ceased. Green states that his tests were now used by the Navy, railway companies and others and had been copied by the Board of Trade. A recent appointment to the Board of Trade would have been his, but for the Royal Society being against him, even though the medical profession was on his side. |
