Dublin during the nineteenth century could be an unforgiving city,
especially for the unwary. Established in 1836, the Metropolitan
Police who patrolled its dark alleys and streets fought running
battles with violent tenement mobs, Fenian rebels, street gangs and
self-proclaimed kings. The Peeler's Notebook introduces the reader
to a host of forgotten Victorian dangers, from rabid dogs and
disease epidemics to garrotte-wielding thieves who plied their
trade in the ever-present fog. Drawing on a selection of archival
sources and newspaper accounts, this book casts fresh light on one
of the liveliest eras in the history of Irish policing; in the
process adding a raucous, sometimes poignant miscellany of tales to
the story of Dublin's past.
