I love to hear it!"

Died.

Died. George Macaulay Trevelyan, 86, Britain's most eminent historian, great-nephew of Lord Macaulay, famed 19th century political satirist, a Cambridge professor who published his first work at 23, was best known for his monumental English Social History, which for some 20 years has been a standard text on both sides of the Atlantic; in Cambridge. An outspoken, impatient man with deep-set eyes and beetling brows, Trevelyan was a zealous defender of the green splendor of England's countryside, warning his fellow Britons to preserve its beauties, or "the future of our race will be brutish and shorn of spiritual value."
