FIRST APPEARANCE OF HOLMES IN THE STRAND. Original serial publication from The Strand Magazine, Vol. VI, August 1893, complete with Paget's iconic illustrations. Chronologically the ninth of the second series of twelve Homes short stories, but the eighth 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 text was expanded to include Holmes' famous thought-reading episode from 'The Cardboard Box'. De Waal 228; Green & Gibson A14.viii.
