McCARTHY (Justin, 1839-1912, Irish M.P., Novelist and Historian)

Autograph Letter Signed to Frank Churcher, saying he has “much pleasure in complying with a request, which I must feel ins in itself a compliment. Since you care to have my autograph I am glad to give it to you...”, 1 side 8vo., 20 Cheyne Gardens headed paper, 18th January

McCarthy’s works include “A History of our Own Times” and “The Four Georges and William the Fourth”.
At the 1892 general election, McCarthy again stood both in North Longford and in Londonderry City. In each seat there was a two-way contest between McCarthy and a Unionist candidate, but the narrow Unionist victory in Londonderry City (by 1986 votes to 1960) was not overturned, and McCarthy sat for North Longford, where he had won over 93% of the votes. He was returned unopposed for North Longford in 1895, and stood down from Parliament at the 1900 general election.
