The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, (Paperback)

<p><strong>The Memoirs</strong> of <strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Sherlock</strong></strong> <strong><strong><strong>Holmes</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong>, published in <strong>1894</strong>, is the second collection of <strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Sherlock</strong></strong> <strong><strong><strong>Holmes</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong> stories published in book form.

This story did appear in the very first American edition of the collection, immediately following "Silver Blaze," but it was quickly replaced by a revised edition which omitted it. Apparently these omissions were at the specific request of the author, who was concerned that its inclusion of the theme of adultery would make it unsuitable for younger readers. The story was, however, eventually included in the later collection <strong>His Last</strong> Bow, but it is out of chronological position there. In this <strong>Standard Ebooks</strong> edition (as in most modern British editions), we have included this story to restore it to its correct chronological place in the <strong><strong><strong>Holmes</strong></strong></strong> canon.<strong>The Memoirs</strong> of <strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Sherlock</strong></strong> <strong><strong><strong>Holmes</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong> is also notable because by this time <strong>Doyle</strong> had tired of the <strong><strong><strong>Holmes</strong></strong></strong> character and decided to kill him off, so</p>
