Charles Edward Trevelyan Book order
Charles Trevelyan was a British civil servant whose career was shaped by colonial administration in India. In the mid-19th century, he played a role in reforming the British civil service. However, his legacy is overshadowed by his controversial stance during the Irish Potato Famine, where, as a key relief administrator, he expressed strong beliefs in the free market and laissez-faire economics. Trevelyan was slow to disburse direct government aid and left behind disparaging remarks about the Irish populace, for which he never expressed remorse.
