Sir, - Long threatening comes at last. I have been meaning for some time to tell you how much I enjoy the articles of Dr William Reville.
As a contributor, he must be the find of the decade. He selects topics that are interesting and refreshing and makes them all, even those that initially appear obscure, topical and relevant.
As pieces of writing, his articles are extremely well worked. They are always written in beautiful, clear, direct English. They are models in presentation of brevity, clarity and coherence. In rendering intellectual content quickly accessible to the general reader he has a light and stimulating style.
I preferred the prominence which the previous location in the paper gave to the articles, the content of which seems broader than science. - Yours, etc., Liam A. O'Connell,
