Redfern's Third Edition?

Did Uttoxeter's Historian Francis Redfern rewrite his "History and Antiquities of Uttoxeter"?
The preface to the facsimilie reprint of the 1886 edition printed in 1998 states that he produced a third edition which exists as a document in the William Salt Library in Stafford. Use the following link

The William Salt library can't locate a copy there-so where is it? does it, did it exist? Who wrote the preface?
More on this as the story develops.
