Looking for a good historical description

Hi
I am looking for the original source of what is now a mangled description on the revised Friendsreunited site.
Does anyone have a copy of the original full version, or know where one can be found, or recognise any part of the following extract, which starts and ends in the middle of a sentence

cy ( chairman of the West Riding Committee ) opened under the happiest auspices. The boys of the old school would form a nucleus of the new pupils and the headmaster, Mr. J.E.Shipley Turner, M.A. who had been in charge of that school for the last few years, had been appointed headmaster of the new school. The governing body contained representatives of Brooke's Trustees, and there was every ground for confident expectation that the new school would not only carry forward worthily the traditions of the old foundation, but would offer to the younger generation of Thorne and neighbouring townships those facilities for higher education so necessary to a part of the West Riding administration area rapidly growing in importance.

All assistance appreciated.
