Richard Irvine Best ,
' To talk well about Irish would take all // the lifetimes of all the men who've ever studied this language and literature.' Such is the view of Dr. Richard Irvine Best, late Librarian of the National Library of Ireland, who has himself spent a lifetime in this study. He speaks therefore not so much about Irish as its Mm devotees, recalling some of the famous and diverting personalities he has en- countered during his life's work.
