HC. B&W frontis (illustrator). 253pp "This book is unique and probably always will be. It is the first autobiography of a Bow Street Runner ever to be published; and it is unlikely there will be another now. The Runners were disbanded in 1839, and if any of Goddard's colleagues wrote their memoirs they are hardly likely to have survived. This book goes some way to restoring them to life.The full story of the Bow Street Runners is lost for ever, because the main materials no longer exist. Almost all the official records were destroyed - not by accident or policy, but simply because they were not thought worth keeping - when the Bow Street Police Office moved across the road in 1881." good w/lightly chipped dustjacket (hardcover) LIBRARY BOOKPLATE.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. This is a tight copy presented in an unclipped dust wrapper. The wrapper has been "nibbled" in places and there is some loss at the back and at the top of the spine. A reader must have run out of biscuits, one assumes. There is some foxing to the page edges but no other marks or inscriptions.
