I don't have a lot of time to do fact-checking and the like right now, but something some folks might want to read up on for inclusion -- Trevelyan (a real rat bastard, though that's probably not exactly scholarly to say) was big on Malthusian ideals, saw it as population control. Might be an interesting point for the article. --Blacken 03:58, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Most of the article is uncontentious, but Trevelyan's role in the Irish Potato Famine is far too brief. His attitude seems unbelievable today, due to his belief that it should be seen as a judgement of God, and his deliberate inaction undoubtedly increased the number of people who starved to death. All of this requires more lengthy treatment. User Pete Stephens, 29 March 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.176.229.152 (talk) 14:08, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
