THE POLICE GAZETTE

Part 4: Issues for 1811-1827 from Somerset Record Office and for 1848-1856 from Durham Record Office

The Police Gazette is an outstanding resource for all those interested in:

• Exploring the criminal underworld of Georgian England.
• Understanding the truth behind the depictions of London by Fielding.
• The social history of crime and policing.
• The values placed on personal possessions.
• Genealogy - there are extensive lists of criminals, army deserters (who may have changed identity), missing persons and those sent to Australia.

Part 4 offers issues for a further 17 years from the early part of the journal's history and means that we can now offer coverage of 79 years in total from 1797-1840 and 1866-1900. This represents coverage of 61% of the total run from 1772 to 1900.
