MEMOIRS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES

The eleven stories of the Memoirs are: "Silver Blaze" "The Adventure of the Yellow Face" "The Stockbroker's Clerk" "The Gloria Scott" "The Musgrave Ritual" "The Adventure of the Reigate Puzzle" "The Adventure of the Crooked Man" "The Resident Patient" "The Greek Interpreter" "The Naval Treaty" "The Final Problem" The first London edition of the Memoirs in 1894 did not include "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box", although all twelve stories had appeared in the Strand Magazine. The first U.S. edition did include the story, but it was very quickly replaced with a revised edition that omitted it. The reasoning behind the suppression is unclear. In Britain the story was apparently removed at Doyle's request as it included adultery and so was unsuitable for younger readers. This may have also been the cause for the rapid removal of the story from the U.S. edition, and some sources[specify] state that the publishers believed the story was too scandalous for the American public.
