Edmond Cloutier, King’s Printer, Ottawa, 1949.  Trade soft cover, 227 pages.  Blue card covers with some edge and cover wear, small creases, small light stain at lower front wrap; some scrapes on spine with a neat repair at spine head.  Binding sound.  Interior clean and unmarked.  ‘Law and Order are the companions of Freedom.  National discipline, self-imposed, is essential to our democracy. … The maintenance of law and order, the enforcement of our self-imposed discipline, the prevention of crime and the apprehension of criminals, are the functions of police forces.  Such forces are thus in principle first and foremost the guardians of democracy.  May they never become, like the police of other ideologies, the ministers of tyranny, itself the greatest of crimes.’ (from Foreword)
