John Morley (1838-1923) was a British politician and man of letters, born in Blackburn. He was an advanced Liberal in both capacities. Besides essays and journalistic work, has written biographies, particularly on men associated with politics and social movements, such as Voltaire, Rousseau, and Diderot, as well as Burke, and is editor of "English Men of Letters".
