Sobre este artículo
London: Printed by H. Fry Finsbury-Place, for C. Dilly, Poultry, 1796. The Third Edition, Revised and Enlarged.. hardcover. near very good. Octavo, xvii [7] 440 pages. plus xxviii -- index.

Patrick Colquhoun (1745-1820) was one of the founders of the River Thames Police and greatly influenced subsequent police forces. "As impressive as Colquhoun's salesmanship of the public police idea was, his main contribution is recognized as the introduction of crime prevention, or preventative policing, as a fundamental principle to the English police system. His police were to be a deterrent to crime by their permanent presence on the Thames. He came to this conclusion through viewing policing as a science, and in utilitarian fashion, attempted to press that science into the service of the national political economy. He published two dozen treatises on a variety of social problems, but the most significant is his A Treatise on the Police of the Metropolis." Worn at joints and edges; spine scuffed. 042407A
