- The Morning Star (19th century U.K. newspaper)
"The Morning Star" was a radical pro-peace London daily newspaper started by Richard Cobden and John Bright in March 1856.
From the summer of 1857 until his death, Samuel Lucas (1811-1865) served as editor of the "Morning Star". As an ‘active managing partner’, with a financial stake in the paper, he was successful at bringing in Irish politician, historian and novelist Justin McCarthy, and Edmund Yates, as contributors.

Spencer, [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/17139 ‘Lucas, Samuel (1811–1865)’] , "Oxford Dictionary of National Biography", Oxford University Press, 2004, accessed 5 Jan 2008]
McCarthy succeeded Lucas as editor between 1865 and 1868.
The Scottish novelist William Black briefly worked as a journalist on the paper in 1863/4.
