Scotland Yard by Sir Harold Scott, penguin,1957



A vintage decoratively patterned copy of Scotland Yard by Sir Harold Scott. "To the Men and Women of the Metropolitan Police" This is the true life account of the Commissioner of the Police of the Metropolis of London, England from 1945 - 1953.
"To say that I was astonished would be an understatement. The first joint Commissioners of Police of the Metropolis in 1829 were Sir Richard Mayne, a lawyer, and Colonel Sir Charles Rowan, an army officer. Since that time it had become almost traditional for the Commissioner to be chosen from among senior officers of the armed forces, and it was expected that when the then Commissioner, Air Vice Marshal Sir Philip Game, retired, tradition would be followed. But Mr. Morrison had his own ideas. He wished to emphasize the civilian character of the police force and thought that in the changed conditions of a post-war world the work of the Commissioner would call rather for experience of administration in a big civil department than experience in the military field. He was good enough to say that as a result of our association for three years in Civil Defense he thought I could do the job. I was less sure..." This vintage book would make a delightful addition to any library.
