Oxford on 12th See also:December 1837, and educated at Magdalen See also:College School and at Jesus College, where he obtained an open scholarship. On leaving Oxford he took orders and became the See also:incumbent of St See also:- PHILIP

Philip's, See also:Stepney. His See also:preaching was eloquent and able; he worked diligently among his poor parishioners and won their See also:affection by his ready sympathy. Meanwhile he studied See also:history in a scholarly See also:fashion, and wrote much for the Saturday See also:Review. Partly because his See also:health was weak and partly because he ceased to agree with the teaching of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

Church of See also:England, he abandoned clerical See also:life and devoted himself to history; in 1868 he took the See also:post of librarian at See also:Lambeth, but his health was already breaking down and he was attacked by See also:consumption. His See also:Short History of the English See also:People (1874) at once attained extraordinary popularity, and was afterwards See also:expanded in a See also:work of four volumes (1877—188o). Green is pre-eminently a picturesque historian; he had a vivid See also:imagination and a keen See also:eye for See also:colour. His See also:chief aim was to depict the progressive life of the English people rather than to write a See also:political history of the English See also:state. In accomplishing this aim he worked up the results of wide See also:reading into a See also:series of brilliant pictures. While generally accurate in his statement of facts, and showing a See also:firm grasp of the See also:main tendency of a See also:period, he often builds more on his authorities than is warranted by their words, and is See also:apt to overlook points which would have forced him to modify his representations and See also:lower the See also:tone of his See also:colours. From his animated pages thousands have learned to take See also:pleasure in the history of their own people, but could scarcely learn to appreciate the complexity inherent in all See also:historical See also:movement. His See also:style is extremely See also:bright, but it lacks sobriety and presents some affectations. His later histories, The Making of England (1882) and The See also:Conquest of England (1883), are more soberly written than his earlier books, and are valuable contributions to historical knowledge. Green died at See also:Mentone on the 7th of See also:March 1883. He was a singularly attractive See also:man, of wide intellectual sympathies and an enthusiastic temperament; his See also:good-See also:humour was unfailing and he was a brilliant talker; and his work was done with admirable courage in spite of See also:ill-health.
