North Yorkshire: Studies of its Botany, Geology, Climate, and Physical Geography

Description:

2nd edition. The chapters comprising this second edition first appeared in Transactions of the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union (Botanical Series, Vol. 3), between 1888 and 1906: Geology, pp. 1-45 (Jan.-Feb. 1888); Lithology, pp. 47-71 (Apr. 1888); Climatology, pp. 73-120 (Apr.-July 1888); Topography and Physical Geography, pp. 121-224 (July 1888- Jan. 1889); The Flora (including The Mosses and Hepaticae of North Yorkshire, revised by Matthew B. Slater), pp. 225-645 (July 1889-Jan. 1906). The first edition of this work was published by Longman, Green, Longman, Roberts & Green, 1863, but 'with the exception of some copies sent out to subscribers, &c., the entire edition was unfortunately destroyed by fire at the author's residence. The present "second edition" may, therefore, be looked upon as an entirely new work…'
