Abstract
Few subjects have been as neglected by historians as the Police. Anyone studying the history of the 19th century in particular, when the modern era of policing began, cannot fail to be struck by the cursory treatment accorded to the new element in public security by the most authoritative writers. We were glad, therefore, to receive the list of publications relating to police history which Dr. Parris introduces in the following article. It is we, believe, the only published list of its kind.
It may be that other matter has been published in this field and we shall be glad to print a supplementary list if any of our readers care to send particulars (in the same detail as in the present list) of any omissions, whether in book- or booklet-form or as articles in Force or other magazines.
