FIRST APPEARANCE OF HOLMES IN THE STRAND. Original serial publication from The Strand Magazine, Vol. V, June 1893, complete with Paget's iconic illustrations. Chronologically the seventh of the second series of twelve Homes short stories, but the sixth when the tales were collected as the 'Memoirs' (1894 [1893]) due to the omission of 'The Cardboard Box' at Doyle's request. In book form the title was changed to 'The Reigate Squires' to reflect both villains. De Waal 225; Green & Gibson A14.vi (both wrongly recording the altered title).
