Scotland Yard, past and present: Experiences of thirty-seven years Kindle Edition  by Timothy Cavanagh (Author), Peter Clark (Foreword). 

This book, originally published in 1893 (very hard to find originals and they are expensive), was written by ex- chief inspector Timothy Cavanagh about his experiences as a police officer in the Metropolitan Police and working in places of entertainment in London (England) between 1855 and 1892. A fascinating insight into police duties and practices in those times. Also gives interesting insights into various personalities of those times (like Sir Richard Mayne, Adolphus "Dolly" Williamson, Jonathan Wicher and others). With a new explanatory forward by Peter Clark.
