No directory with map has been found but the author has a
loose map which would have accompanied this edition. White´s Staffordshire
directory map of 1834 is a later reissue of Dix and Darton´s map of the county.
In 1822 William Darton (senior) published A Complete Atlas of the English
Counties with maps drawn by Thomas Dix. However, individual counties have
been seen with earlier dates and the maps were sold as single sheets as they
were completed. The original title panels (an attractive roundel) were replaced
with a plain title circa 1833, and given a new imprint of William Darton and
Son. Nottinghamshire (for Francis White) and Stafford (for William) were
adapted for insertion in directories. Later, Berkshire was issued with
Melville´s Directory of that county in 1867 and Devon in The Official County
Map Guide of c.1877.
