"In reviewing the history of the Worcester police for 226 years, this volume can tell but briefly, yet with an attempt of completeness, of the history of the department which is closely interwoven with the history of the city ... It is a bird's-eye view of the character of the times, the police regulation of the laws, and here and there an inkling of the civil and criminal jurisprudence." Final seventy pages are local advertising, many illustrated with buildings or products produced. A fascinating review of urban police history.
