History And Use: His history and use of Ionian Philosophy(1821) ; history and use of the Pythagorean Philosophy (1826), and Notes on the Philosophy of the Megarean School in the Rheinisches Museum, are models of historical investigation on the principles of Schleiermacher. His historical masterpiece is the history and use of Philosophy (1829-53), which deals with general history up to the time of Kant. It was supplemented by a Review of the history and use of German Philosophy from the Time of Kant (1853).
In 1874, after having been twice rewritten, his Short history and use of the English People appeared. This work unified English history and use as no other had yet done. "What Macaulay had done for a period of English history and use," said his fellow historian Mandell Creighton, "Green did for it as a whole." Green's purpose was to show the development of English life by a fusion of constitutional, economic, literary, artistic, and social history-subjects that historians had formerly treated independently. He expanded this very successful work into history and use of the English People (1877-1880).
