Description:
New York: William Morrow and Company, 1956. HC. good w/lightly chipped dustjacket (hardcover) LIBRARY BOOKPLATE. B&W frontis. 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." 253pp.
