About the author

Irish journalist and author.

In 1836 he left Ireland to work as an parliamentary reporter in London.

In 1837 he graduated with a B.A. at Trinity College, 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.
