Detective Inspector John Sweeney of New Scotland Yard John Sweeney, Tony's grandfather, rose to be a senior London police officer. He instigated the Flying Squad (immediately done into cockney slang as Sweeney Todd, Flying Squad). Tony Sweeney was immensely proud that a son of evicted Irish emigrants from Kerry could rise to such a responsible position in Victorian England and then publish his sensational memoirs. Tony commissioned a slip case, designed by Michael Scott, with a gilt printed morocco label, giving details of Sweeney's career, his custody of the Crown Jewels during the postponement of Edward VII's coronation, security for Queen Victoria's visit to Ireland in 1900, and his defence against libel. Mounted under magnifying glasses are two silver commemoration medals of above events. Containing: Detective Inspector John Sweeney At Scotland Yard, 1st Edition, London 1904 and the 2nd Edition which contains the defence against Parmeggiani, cloth covers with design of handcuffs Edited by Frances Richards. "New and enlarged edition" printed by Alexander Moring, who appears to have been in a loose partnership with Grand Richards, London, 1905. 8vo with portrait in a red cloth binding decorated with a pair of handcuffs. The previous year's first edition provoked a libel suit and the supplementary chapter was entitled Parmeggiani v. Sweeney. Luigi Parmeggiani was a major collector of antiques and pictures who resided at I Bedford Square, Bloomsbury where his visitors included on one occasion the Empress Frederick of Germany with John Sweeney acting as bodyguard. According to the author Parmeggiani had been one of the formost figures amongst the anarchists and it was this allegation that prompted the law suit. John Sweeney marshalled his evidence so well though that the plaintiff was in the final instance reduced to claiming that the anarchist also named Luigi Parmeggiani was his brother. After a four day hearing before Mr Justice Ridley and a special jury in the King's Bench Court the plaintiff was awarded damages of one farthing, reminiscent of the outcome of the Whistler v Ruskin case, but had to pay John Sweeney's legal costs. Together with Landsdowne, A Life's Reminiscences of Scotland Yard, London (n.d.) Together with Chief-Inspector Littlechild. The Reminiscences, 2nd Edition, London 1894, decorated cloth with paper label (Littlechild was Sweeney's 'boss' at Scotland Yard) The Author dedicated his book "To possible criminals … those who, having within them the germs of crime, are in constant danger of falling into its dark abyss, and if every such person will purchase a copy, ample remuneration awaits my labour. If the perusal of itsd pages should cause but a small number to 'look before they leap,' my reward will be greater. If one truth stands out more prominently in my experiences than another, it is that 'The way of the transgressor is hard". Littlechild was John Sweeney's boss when the Special Branch came into being but his book by the year 2000 was priced below that of his subordinate and this despite Littlechild himself having played a leading role in the hunt for "Jack The Ripper". Provenance: bookplate of James H Dalton and a note indicating that in 1953 he had presented it to J A de Grolian. Acquired by us from Lathkill Books, Bakewell, Derbyshire. Together with Chief-Inspector Cavabba Scotland Yard, Past and Present, London 1893, half-calf, art nouveau spine (Tony Sweeney says Cavanna is the first detective who acquired a 'personality cult') Together with a collection of five volumes on policing, including Galton F., Finger Prints, London 1892 Provenance: The estate of Tony Sweeney
