[2] Boys of England was edited by the publisher and former Chartist Edwin John Brett.
Articles exhorted boys to participate in healthy outdoor games and to contribute some of their pocket money to the journal's lifeboat fund which purchased the first Southend Lifeboat in 1879 (Brett named the vessel after the magazine and himself).
Subject matters which predominated were history, rebels, crime, romance, the paranormal, and public schools.
