Have a look at his essays "On Philosophy at the Universities" and "On Jurisprudence and Politics" in his Parerga. They're great reads in their own right but it will help you understand his view of the institutions of the time and why he was critical of "progress" contra Hegel.

In essence, he believed that history deals with particulars, not universals. Hence, for Hegelians and the related schools, their notions of "progress" were founded upon a misunderstandings of the principle of sufficient reason which, to Schop, only applied to the world of phenomena, not the thing-in-itself. That's why he finds the notion of an "absolute" ridiculous. I don't have the exact passages from WWR handy but I still want to help you. I came across a short paper called "Schopenhauer's View of History: A Note" which is a nice condensation of his view. It's only six pages.
