John Lalor (1814–1856) was an Irish journalist and author. ==Life== Son of John Lalor, a Roman Catholic merchant, he was born in Dublin, and educated at a Catholic school at Carlow and at Clongowes College. On 6 June 1831 he entered Trinity College, Dublin, where he graduated B.A. in 1837. After collecting evidence as an assistant poor-law commissioner, he left Ireland in 1836, and became connected with the daily press in London, first as a parliamentary reporter, and later for five or six years as one of the main editors of the ''Morning Chronicle'', having social and domestic questions wholly under his direction. In 1838 he was admitted a solicitor in Dublin. In 1839 Lalor obtained the prize of one hundred guineas awarded by the Central Society of Education for an essay on ''The Expediency and Means of Elevating the Profession of the Educator in Society''. Brought up as a Catholic, about 1844 Lalor joined the Unitarian church, and undertook the editorship of the Unitarian weekly paper ''The Inquirer''. He himself contributed articles on the Factory Bill, Ireland, and on education. His last work for the press was ''Money and Morals: a Book for the Times'', 1852, a portion of which was reprinted in 1864 under the title of ''England among the Nations''. Lalor died, after much ill-health, at Holly Hill, Hampstead, London, on 27 January 1856, aged 42. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Lalor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
