The Morning Star (19th century newspaper)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Morning Star was a newspaper published in London in the nineteenth century.

Between 1864 and 1868 its editor was the Irish politician, historian and novelist Justin M'Carthy.

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

It has no connection with the daily newspaper of that name which is published in Britain today - that publication was founded in 1930 as The Daily Worker, changing its name to The Morning Star in 1966.
