Madam, John Montague's thoughtful appreciation of James Clarence Mangan in last Saturday's Book Review section prompted us to put together a small display which includes Mangan's original manuscript autobiography, some pathetic letters pleading for loans, and a silhouette portrait of the writer. The display is on view in the Royal Irish Academy's Reading Room, 19, Dawson Street, 10 am-5 pm, Monday-Friday and we welcome visits from the public. - Yours. etc.,
SIOBHÁN O'RAFFERTY, Librarian, Royal Irish Academy, Dublin 2
