Author Description McCarthy began his career as a journalist at age 18 in Cork, Ireland. From 1853 to 1859 he was in Liverpool, on the staff of the <i>Northern Daily Times</i>, during which period he married (in March 1855) Charlotte Ailman. In 1860 he moved to London, as parliamentary reporter to <i>The Morning Star</i>, of which he became editor in 1864.<br /><br />He gave up his post in 1868, and, after a lecturing tour in the United States, joined the staff of the <i>Daily News</i> as leader-writer in 1870. In this capacity he became one of the most useful and respected upholders of the liberal politics of the time. He lectured again in America in 1870-1871, and again in 1886-1887.<br /><br />McCarthy's most important work is his <i>History of Our Own Times</i> (vols. I-IV, 1879–1880; vol. V, 1897), which treats of the period between Queen Victoria's accession and her Diamond Jubilee. He also began a <i>History of the Four Georges</i> (1884 1901), of which the latter half was written by his son, <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/15932679.Justin_Huntly_McCarthy" title="Justin Huntly McCarthy" rel="nofollow noopener">Justin Huntly McCarthy</a>.
