Morning Star (19th-century UK newspaper)

The Morning Star was a radical pro-peace London daily newspaper started by Richard Cobden and John Bright in March 1856.

The newspaper was edited by Samuel Lucas from 1857 until his death in 1865. He had a financial stake in the paper, and as an "active managing partner" he succeeded in recruiting the Irish politician, historian and novelist Justin McCarthy and novelist Edmund Yates as contributors.[1] McCarthy succeeded Lucas as editor from 1865 until 1868.

The Scottish novelist William Black briefly worked as a journalist on the paper in 1863–4.
