LIFE AND WORK Of
JUSTIN MCCARTHY
Was a Journalist, Novelist, Historian
and StateSman-Best Known
for Work in History.
Began his Career as a Reporter on
a Dublin Paper When a Very
Young Man.
Lectured Extensively in the U. S
Where he was Warmly Received
and Well Liked.

On April "a the sad news was
flashed over the world that Justin Nc
Carthy, the Irish historian and states
man, was called to his reward Mr..
Mccarthy, though nearing his S2nd
birthday, had been active with his
pen up to the time of his death.
Justin Mccarthy was born in Cork
in November, 1880. AS no Catholic
degree in the British Isles at that
time he was educated privately. He
entered journalism in Cork. At the
age of twenty-three he left for Liver
pool where he became connected with
a newspaper. He remained there un
til 1860 when he became a member
of the reporting staff of the London
Morning STAR In the autumn of
the same year he became the foreign
editor, and in 1864 he was made edi-
tor-in- chief. After four years of
service in that capacity he resigned
his position and came to the United
States.
In this country Mr. Mccarthy was
| warmly received. He was already well
known for his writings and his friend
ship for this country which was evil
denced by the policy of the paper he
edited. While in America ne lectured
extensively, visiting nearly every city
in the country. On his return to Eng
land he was offered the responsible
position of leader writer on 1.-THE
Daily News" ........
Mr.. McCarthy's first literary VEN
ture was in the field of the novel. His
first work appeared in 1867. The title
| OF the story was THE Waterdale
Neighbors." Two years later he pub
lished "My Enemy's Daughter" Lady
Judith appeared in 1871 and "a Faif
Saxon in 1878. In this latter novel
the Irish question is the central
theme. He wrote several other novels
that have been widely read. He was
the master of graceful, clear style
and was capable Of keen analysis
of character. He at times indulged
in satire though never to dangerous
degree. His sympathies were too
broad for that.
His greatest achievement is in the
department of history. His History
o? Our Own Times," written In clear,
forceful English and free from bias, is
a recognized standard work Among
his other writings on historical sub
jects are "A History of the Four
Georges" AN Epoch of Reform" "Ths
Life of Sir Robert Peel" Life of Pope
Leo KILL, and "reminiscences" He
mas written a volume of essays en-
titled Con Amore" and volume en-
titled "Ireland's Cause in England's
Parliament" He served in Parliament
for number of years and was for
rellites after the split came in 1890.
Mr.. Mccarthy was one of the best
known Irish men of letters for more
than a quarter Of a century. He was
interested in the Home Rule move
nient and wrote many articles for the
public press defending the cause. His
fame will rest on his work as a his
torian. In that department he is a
recognized authority
