APPENDIX 2.6 - Yorkshire (later edition)
Edward Baines published a second
Lancashire work but left it to William White to publish the Yorkshire directory
in an updated version at the end of the 1830s. This appeared in 1837 and 1838
(West Riding in two volumes) and 1840 (East and North Ridings in one volume).
None of the volumes actually refers to a second edition as such.
