Sir, – May I congratulate The Irish Timeson publishing "A History of Ireland in 100 Objects" on a weekly basis (Weekend Review). It is a most interesting and valuable historical series of articles on a much-needed subject, by Fintan O'Toole and the various academics involved. I do hope that it will be possible to compile a book from this collection.

A very desirable read ever Saturday, especially in the midst of all the bad news. – Yours, etc,
