In glancing over the somewhat incoherent series of Memoirs1 with which I have endeavoured to illustrate2 a few of the mental peculiarities3 of my friend Mr. Sherlock Holmes, I have been struck by the difficulty which I have experienced in picking out examples which shall in every way answer my purpose. For in those cases in which Holmes has performed some tour de force of analytical5 reasoning, and has demonstrated the value of his peculiar4 methods of investigation6, the facts themselves have often been so slight or so commonplace that I could not feel justified7 in laying them before the public. On the other hand, it has frequently happened that he has been concerned in some research where the facts have been of the most remarkable8 and dramatic character, but where the share which he has himself taken in determining their causes has been less pronounced than I, as his biographer, could wish. The small matter which I have chronicled under the heading of “A Study in Scarlet,” and that other later one connected with the loss of the Gloria Scott, may serve as examples of this Scylla and Charybdis which are forever threatening the historian. It may be that in the business of which I am now about to write the part which my friend played is not sufficiently9 accentuated10; and yet the whole train of circumstances is so remarkable that I cannot bring myself to omit it entirely11 from this series.
