"Half the expense of the diet went on grain, 35 per cent on animal products, and the rest on potatoes" (Clarkson, 2001, p. 63).

"There would seem therefore to be no doubt that the type of potato plant which reached Western Europe at the end of the sixteenth century must have been much like the types we now know were common in England prior to the latter half of the seventeenth century" (Salaman, 1970, p. 618-619).

"From the outset, Whately's Irish commission seemed doomed to failure" (Nally, 2008, p. 718).
