.
See also:Frederick started See also:life in a See also:printing See also:house, but at an See also:early See also:age began to write in See also:periodicals
.
In 1853 he contributed a See also:sketch of See also:Napoleon III. to a See also:volume called The Napoleon See also:Dynasty (2nd ed., 1855)
.
He also wrote several novels: The Loves of an See also:Apothecary (1854), The Path of See also:Roses (1859) and (with his See also:brother James) Under a See also:Cloud (186o)
.
To the second number of the Cornhill See also:Magazine he contributed " An See also:Essay without End," and this led to an introduction to See also:Thackeray
.
In 1862, when Thackeray resigned the editorship of the Cornhill, See also:Greenwood became See also:joint editor with G
.
H
.
See also:Lewes
.
In 1864 he was appointed See also:sole editor, a See also:post which he held until 1868
.
While at the Cornhill he wrote an See also:article in which he suggested, to some extent, how Thackeray might have intended to conclude his unfinished See also:work See also:Denis See also:Duval, and in its pages appeared See also:Margaret Denzil's See also:History, Greenwood's most ambitious work of fiction, published in volume See also:form in 1864
.
At that See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time Greenwood had conceived the See also:idea of an evening newspaper, which, while containing " all the See also:news proper to an evening See also:journal," should, for the most See also:part, be made up " of See also:original articles upon the many things which engage the thoughts, or employ the energies, or amuse the leisure of mankind." Public affairs, literature and See also:art, " and all the influences which strengthen or dissipate society " were to be discussed by men whose See also:independence and authority were equally unquestionable
.
See also:Canning's See also:Anti-Jacobin and the Saturday See also:Review of 1864 were the joint See also:models Greenwood had before him

The idea was taken up by Mr See also:George See also:- SMITH

Within a few years he had come to exercise a See also:great See also:influence on public affairs
.
His views somewhat rapidly ripened from what was described as philosophic Liberal-ism into Conservatism

Along with other royal palaces Greenwich was at the Revolution appropriated by the See also:Protector, but it reverted to the crown on the restoration of Charles II., by whom it was pulled down, and the See also:west wing of the See also:present hospital was erected as part of an extensive See also:design which was not further carried out

Here in 18o6 the remains of See also:Nelson See also:lay in state before their See also:burial in St See also:Paul's See also:Cathedral
.
Its walls and See also:ceiling were painted by Sir James See also:Thornhill with various emblematic devices, and it is hung with portraits of the most distinguished admirals and paintings of the chief naval battles of See also:England
.
In the Queen Anne range is the Royal Naval Museum, containing models, See also:relics of Nelson and of See also:Franklin, and other See also:objects
.
In the centre of the See also:principal quadrangle of the hospital there is a statue of George II. by Rysbrack, sculptured out of a single See also:block of See also:marble taken from the See also:French by See also:Admiral Sir George See also:Rooke
.
In the upper quadrangle is a bust of Nelson by See also:Chantrey, and there are various other memorials and relics
.
The See also:oldest part of the building was in some measure rebuilt in 1811, and the present See also:chapel was erected to replace one destroyed by See also:fire in 1779
.
The endowments of the hospital were increased at various periods from bequests and forfeited estates
.
Formerly 2700 retired seamen were boarded within it, and 5000 or 6oco others, called out-pensioners, received stipends at various rates out of its funds; but in 1865 an See also:act was passed empowering the See also:Admiralty to See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O.

grant liberal See also:pensions in lieu of See also:food and lodging to such of the inmates as were willing to quit the hospital, and in 1869 another act was passed making their leaving on these conditions compulsory
.
It was then devoted to the See also:accommodation of the students of the Royal Naval College, the Infirmary being granted to the Seamen's Hospital Society
.
Behind the College is the Royal Hospital School, where woo boys, sons of See also:petty officers and seamen, are boarded
.
To the See also:south of the hospital is Greenwich Park (185 acres); lying high, and commanding extensive views over See also:London, the See also:Thames and the See also:plain of See also:Essex
.
It was enclosed by Humphrey, duke of Gloucester, and laid out by Charles II., and contains a See also:fine See also:avenue of See also:Spanish chestnuts planted in his time
.
In it is situated the Royal Observatory, built in 1675 for the See also:advancement of See also:navigation and nautical See also:astronomy

From it the exact time is conveyed each See also:day at one o'See also:clock by electric See also:signal to
had in Greenwood
.
It was on the See also:suggestion of Greenwood that Beaconsfield See also:purchased in 1875 the See also:Suez See also:Canal shares of the See also:Khedive See also:Ismail; the See also:British See also:government being ignorant, until informed by Greenwood, that the shares were for See also:sale and likely to be bought by See also:France
.
It was characteristic of Greenwood that he declined to publish the news of the See also:purchase of the shares in the Pall Mall before the See also:official announcement was made
.
Early in 188o the Pall Mall changed owners, and the new proprietor required it to support Liberal policy
.
Greenwood at once resigned his editorship, but in May a new paper, the St James's Gazette, was started for him by Mr Henry Hucks See also:Gibbs (afterwards Lord Aldenham), and Greenwood proceeded to carry on in it the tradition which he had established in the Pall Mall
.
At the St James's Greenwood remained for over eight years, continuing to exercise a marked influence upon See also:political affairs, notably as a pungent critic of the Gladstone See also:administration (188o–1885) and an See also:independent supporter of Lord See also:Salisbury
.
His connexion with the paper ceased in See also:August 1888, owing to disagreements with the new proprietor, Mr E
.
Steinkopff, who had bought the St James's at Greenwood's own suggestion
.
In See also:January 1891 Greenwood brought out a weekly review which he named the Anti-Jacobin
.
It failed, however, to gain public support, the last number appearing in January 1892
.
In 1893 he published The See also:Lover's See also:Lexicon and in 1894 See also:Imagination in Dreams
.
He continued to See also:express his views on political and social questions in contributions to See also:newspapers and magazines, See also:writing frequently in the See also:Westminster Gazette, the Pall Mall, See also:Blackwood, the Cornhill, &c
.
Towards the end of his life his political views reverted in some respects to the Liberalism of his early days
.
In the words of George See also:Meredith " Greenwood was not only a great journalist, he had a statesman's See also:head
.
The See also:national interests were always urgent at his See also:heart." He was remarkable for securing for his papers the services of the ablest writers of the day, and for the See also:gift of recognizing merit in new writers, such, for instance, as See also:Richard Jeffries and J
.
M
.
See also:Barrie
.
His See also:instinct for capacity in others was as sure as was his journalistic See also:judgment
.
In 1905, on the occasion of his 75th birthday, a See also:dinner was given in his See also:honour by leading statesmen, journalists, and men of letters (with See also:John See also:Morley—who had succeeded him as editor of the Pall Mall—in the See also:chair)
.
In May 1907 he contributed to Blackwood an article on " The New Journalism," in which he See also:drew a See also:sharp contrast between the old and the new conditions under which the work of a newspaper writer is See also:con-ducted
.
He died at See also:Sydenham on the 14th of See also:December 1909
