"Here is the only boys' paper which I know of which was published in Manchester. Described as a monthly magazine for schoolboys, its contents were like many of the papers of the period, dry and of an educational nature. It did not have a bad run considering, but in November 1873 the Editor made the following announcement: "The Publishers have come to the conclusion that they must cease issuing the Young Scholar after the year 1873. The magazine has not met in its two year trial the success which they had a right to expect. The number for December 1873, will therefore be the last number issued." (W.O.G. Lofts)
