Following on from the theft of an estimated £500000 worth of stolen cargo a year from the Pool of London on the River Thames Colquhoun along with utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham and master mariner John Harriot founded the Thames Valley Police. The first year saved an estimated £122000 worth of cargo and rescued several lives. His work is credit as an important precursor to the 'new' police founded by Robert Peel. Colquhoun published twenty four different treatise regarding a variety of social issues and concerns with this work 'A Treatise on the Police of The Metropolis' being the most significant. The work details a number of social issues considered important issue by Colquhoun with accompanying advice and information regarding his suggested solution to each issue.

The rare provincially published sole-edition of antiquary and political manager William Dickinson's bap. 1756 d. 1822 impassioned appeal for the introduction of measures for the prevention of civil unrest. Amongst Dickinson's recommendations - rather presciently compiled mere weeks prior to the outbreak of the Irish Rebellion - are methods for the more efficient protection of local depositories of firearms and gunpowder from the 'temptations to insurrection'. In cataloguing those groups of persons he believes most given to insurrection including 'Republicans' and 'Artizans' the latter 'foremost in the ranks of rebellion' Dickinson specifically attacks poachers: 'Used to consider the fowls of the air the fishes of the water and even the beasts of the field as a common property and particularly expert in the use of fire arms I scarcely know a description of men more obnoxious to suspicion'.

Contemporary calf gilt with coat of arms on top cover and bookplate on front paste-down endpaper no name just coat of arms. Folding plate between pages 230-231. No half-title. 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."
