Although not a marrying man himself, Holmes did promote other people's marriages. A review of his career shows that the result of many of his investigations was a wedding between two of the principals in the case, or the removal of difficulties threatening the success of a marriage. Holmes concealed a respect, even a fondness, for love and marriage, and he was willing to further the romantic and marital happiness of his clients.

Newly-wedded men, or those about to be married, meet evil fates. Holmes himself was, of course, opposed to wedlock, but his wedding may have occurred in Scan.

C12148. Maynard, Julie. "New Light on the Old Triangle," BSJ, 31, No. 4 (December 1981), 200-203.

One quarter of the published cases share a common theme: adultery. Two of these -- Abbe and Devi -- are remarkable for both their precise dating (early spring 1897) and their striking plot similarities: adultery, murder, and Sherlockian pardon. Significantly, Doyle met and fell in love with Jean Leckie on March 15, 1897, while married to the invalid Louise Hawkins. In addition to tampering with the dates, etc., the Literary Agent may have selectively published those accounts involving clients in similar circumstances, perhaps as "public" expiation of his own guilt.

C12149. Rosenblatt, Albert M. "Divorce Canonical Style: Checkmate," BSJ, 35, No. 1 (March 1985), 15-18.

The author traces the history and evaluation of divorce laws in England, from their ecclesiastical origins to the present. With tongue-in-cheek, he argues that some of the actions of Canonical characters were influenced by the difficulties or barriers in obtaining divorces.

C12150. -- B2240. Laxton, Glenn. "Sherlock Holmes and the Six O'Clock News," BSJ, 25, No. 4 (December 1975), 201-202, 245.

The story opens with the detective receiving a phone call that leaves him shocked, to say the least. A reporter for The Times has uncovered the fact that Holmes was involved in the capture of Jack the Ripper. Holmes's credibility is questioned in a poll conducted by the media when he continually offers a "No Comment" concerning all of his cases. How would he handle the press today? Probably with great difficulty.

"From what has been related, it appears that Dr. Watson's therapeutic armamentarium, insofar as efficacious drugs are concerned, was sadly limited.

"Numerous neurological problems appear in the Sherlock Holmes stories. These include dementia, delirium, seizures, toxic-metabolic encephalopathies, syncope, movement disorders, cerebrovascular disease, and alcoholism. Several problems of a neuropsychiatric nature, such as malingering and brain fever, are also reviewed. In addition, Holmes' knowledge of electroencephalography is revealed."

Seven, or 23 1/3 percent, of the thirty Canonical people listed suffered from some type of cardiovascular disorder, which indicates that disease of the heart and vessels was as great a medical problem during Holmes's day as it is at present.

Was Holmes a neurologist at heart? Given the following remarkable clues, that conclusion is nearly incontrovertible. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, through a fictional physician, admits that he wished he could have been a neurologist. Many of the medical conditions mentioned and often important to the Sherlock Holmes stories are based on neurologic diseases.

The Sherlock Holmes mystique has permeated medicine as it has most other areas of our society. Many articles on the medical content of the Canon have been published in medical journals, some of them dealing with Holmes and Watson as true historical individuals. Other articles have stressed the value for clinical and forensic medicine of not only looking but also seeing acutely and thinking logically, as exemplified by the Master Detective. Such an emphasis in medicine can reduce the present excessive reliance on technology with a return to observation and ratiocination that alone can diagnose at least 85% of clinical conditions.

Watson's descriptions of the many cases of this malady are then examined, including the cases that Dr. Tolins theorizes were "brain fever"; e.g., the illness of Holmes after his long tussle with Baron Maupertuis. The classic description of Percy Phelps' case is commented upon as well as the cutting of Alice Rucastle's hair to carry out the prescribed treatment of the time.

Doyle's first Sherlock Holmes novel had as subplots the Mormons, polygamists, Avenging Angels, murder and mayhem. Doyle had an interest in Mormonism and these subplots from his earliest days as a novelist until several years before his death when he published The Edge of the Unknown in 1930, a collection of essays, some of which refer to "psychic phenomenon" among Mormons.

C12233. Todd, Christopher. "A Case of Identities: The Sherlock Holmes Question," CNFB, No. 5 (May 1985), 1-4.

Doyle did in fact write the Canonical tales, using Watson's notes. Today the by-line would read: "By John H. Watson, M.D., as told to A. Conan Doyle." This would account for the similarity of style between the Watsonian stories and those allegedly written by Holmes himself, as well as the few third-person tales. It also explains the cessation of authenticated adventures with the death of Doyle. Furthermore, Doyle was required to disguise the names, dates, and places in the cases to protect the identities of Holmes's clients. Even Holmes' and Watson's names were falsified. Watson's real name was James Ormond Sacker; Holmes' was Jefferson Hope! "So successful was and is the ruse that many have searched the Sussex downs in vain for a beekeeper named Holmes only to retire from the field without Hope."

One of the Master's favorite axioms was that crime repeats itself: "It has all been done before." The Canon contains a number of instances where he comments on earlier cases in the history of crime and then draws a parallel with the case at hand. Michael Crichton's The Great Train Robbery deals with one of the most notorious crimes of the Victorian era: the theft in 1855 of some £2,000 worth of gold from the London-to-Folkestone train. The novel contains at least fifteen episodes that closely parallel incidents in the Canon. It is inconceivable that Holmes should not have been familiar with so well-known an event as the Great Train Robbery, even though there are no references to it in the Sacred Writings.

Gunn at a railroad station. The research and discovery are the work of Milton F. Perry (DA3256). (According to Willis B. Wood, the detective, under the assumed name of Altamont, first travelled to Kansas in 1876 (DA3261). If true, his visit in 1880 was his second one!)

"Since Sherlock Holmes never mentions Jack the Ripper, though Jack's murders took place 1888-1891 when Holmes was at his prime; since Holmes was never consulted on the case; since one victim was seen accompanied by the wearer of a deerstalker's hat; since both men knew thoroughly London's East End, the effective use of disguise, and anatomy; since Jack had an extreme aversion to women and sex and Holmes was at least unattracted to them; and since Holmes was insane and separated from Watson during the time in question, Sherlock Holmes was probably Jack the Ripper."

After eliminating Athelney Jones, Watson, and Moriarty as suspects in the slayings, the author opts for Sir James Saunders, M.D., who was indebted to Holmes for professional services (Blan). Holmes remained silent to protect the good name of the London medical profession.

"When Sherlock Holmes was tracing Jack the Ripper, as he must have done, he was searching for the murderer of five streetwalkers, not seven. On reading Mr. Cullen's book [When London Walked in Terror (Boston: Houghton Mifflin Co., 1965)], however, one learns that Sherlock never caught the Ripper, though he must have come close; for the real Jack the Ripper (not the Professor, the Master, the Doctor, or the Inspector) committed suicide by drowning himself in the Thames on 3 December 1888."

C12271. -- B2248. Faguet, R. A. "`I Am a Doctor Now Ha Ha,'" BSJ, 28, No. 2 (June 1978), 71-74.

Examines Baring-Gould's disclosure that Holmes and Watson apprehended Jack the Ripper, who was none other than Inspector Athelney Jones of Scotland Yard. The article discusses Jones's medical expertise in light of the popular theory that the Ripper was a doctor. Particular attention is paid to Jones's capture by Watson and Holmes and especially to the singular characterization of our heroes, which leads to this unsettling question: "Could Baring-Gould's narrative, after all, have been a ruse? Was our real clue the new characterization of Watson? Could Jack the Ripper have been not Jones but another man, a close associate of Holmes, a man with surgical skill?"

C12272. -- B2249. Hannah, Andrew S. "The Most Tragic Case: Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper," BSJ, 28, No. 2 (June 1978), 75-77.

The matter of Holmes and the Ripper is treated primarily from a factual basis, interlacing Canonical evidence around the established facts of the case. In researching a novel, Hannah reached the conclusion that Holmes acted covertly against a buffoon of a police commissioner, and conspired with Moriarty himself to find the killer, the professor fearing further publicity of his vice-East End interests. The suspect who shines forth brightest is, tragically, the professor's youngest brother -- the station-master.

Watson never mentioned the Ripper slayings. Why? This article points out, using Baring-Gould's chronology, that Holmes was available on the dates, and, relying upon Rumbelow's The Complete Jack the Ripper, notes that many of the descriptions of the killer closely resemble Holmes himself. While never accusing Holmes of the slayings, the article asks more questions than are answered.

In spite of numerous "solutions" that have been ventured to the Ripper murders, the identity of Jack the Ripper remains unknown. Holmes did not try to catch him because he realized that the Ripper was simply a maniac who could better be dealt with by the official constabulary.

C12278. Meyer, Charles A. "Women Are Not to Be Trusted, Not Even the `Best' of Them: A Speculation on the Identity of Jack the Ripper," NS, No. 31 (June 5, 1993), 15-20.

"Jack the Ripper" was actually "Jill the Ripper" and "Jill" was actually Irene Adler. Based on an analysis of Scan, with particular reference to her marriage to Godfrey Norton, the author concludes that Irene was a victim of tertiary syphilis and that Holmes's belief that she eclipsed all other members of her sex was based on her success as the most noted murderess in history.

C12279. -- B2254. Niver, Harold E. "Mr. Sleuth -- Holmes or Moriarty?" BSJ, 28, No. 2 (June 1978), 78-83.

Was Marie Belloc Lowndes, in her novel The Lodger, trying to point a finger of suspicion at Holmes or Moriarty? The description, mental attitude, and general character of the lodger (the Ripper) are oddly similar to those of both Holmes and Moriarty. The time period also shows that it was not impossible for Holmes to have been the Ripper. "There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact." (Bosc)

Given the medical nature of the Ripper murders, particularly involving an early use of forensic photography and Doyle's activism in a variety of fields, including medico-legal matters, the author inquirers into Doyle's apparent disinterest in the investigation. He concludes that many of the elements from the Ripper case do appear in Doyle's tales of crime and detection, especially in the Canonical tales.

"While there is certainly no concrete evidence to link Sherlock with the murders, it is interesting to see how he may have been Jack the Ripper."

The book is dedicated to Mr. Hiram Gregious who said, "Now you know, I never had a play dedicated to me!" There is a list of characters in Edwin Drood, a summary, and the story of the book and its fate. The main part, however, is the solving by Holmes of the Edwin Drood Mystery. Holmes comes to the conclusion that Edwin was strangled by Jasper and that Hiram Gregious was Dick Datchery. When sober, Jasper might have believed Neville did the murder, but when under the influence of opium he might know the truth and this could be Dickens's "new idea ... difficult to work."

C12345. Fleissner, Robert F. "Sherlock Holmes Confronts Edwin Drood," BSJ, 35, No. 4 (December 1985), 199-205.

Reports of how Doyle would have solved Drood are marred by inaccuracies. Not only Doyle himself but others reporting séances with Dickens's spirit reveal a general inconsistency in what was said and whether Holmes was to be put "on the track." Pastiches have generally tended to accept the Survivalist view of the Drood case, one that is in disparity with Dickens's own professed solution. It appears reasonable that "attempts made to bring Drood back alive as Datchery were probably prompted by The Return of Sherlock Holmes," however. (Coincidentally enough, at the time this article was published, a production of Drood, produced by another Holmes, appeared on Broadway; the ending was ingeniously left up to the audience.)

C12351. Herst, Herman, Jr. "Sherlock Holmes and the Madeleine Smith Case," Calabash, No. 3 (March 1983), 30-41. illus.

Doyle's father was an illustrator for a London newspaper, covering famous trials with sketches in the days before photographs could be reproduced in print. Charles Doyle's son may have heard his father discuss some of these trials, particularly the trial of Madeleine Smith of Glasgow, accused of having poisoned the lover of whom she had grown tired when a more eligible young man in better circumstances appeared on the scene. The young lady was found neither guilty nor innocent; in Scotland, a third verdict, "not proven," may release the accused until new evidence turns up.

An article dealing with the horrors of Decimalisation. "This most idiotic thing since Prohibition is especially painful to all good Sherlockians. The Canon rests solidly on good old Victorian tradition and that includes the Coin of the Realm. To us the Irregular Shilling will never become the Irregular Five Pence. We refuse to change the Master's miles and acres into metric terms. The old British coinage is as much a part of the Canon as is the London fog. Most of all we refuse to give up the Guinea, that `gaseous vertebrate' of the financial kingdom. For you see, to us the fictional is truly more real than the transitory fact."

----------. ----------, NZI, 2, No. 1 (August 1992), 80-88.

A study of the relationship between the Sacred Writings and nursery rhymes in which the author concludes that the absence of Mother Goose in the Canon is not surprising because the Canon is "a collection of historical documents and not a fictional product. It is very unlikely, except in detective stories, that any criminal case would assume an atmosphere of nursery rhymes in the real world."

"Holmes took to the ocean as naturally as a duck to water, if one may coin a phrase, and Watson's literary style, consciously or otherwise, also assumed a nautical flavor."

Deals with the premise that through quotations and references from such stories as Glor, Bruc, RedH, and Abbe, it appears that Holmes's knowledge of the nautical world was obtained firsthand by an early career as a seaman, sometime before Glor.

Note: Both texts of this article vary with each other and with the original, due to changes made by the editors. The original title was the one printed in CN. Also, Keiser's middle initial was misprinted in BSJ.

This deals with the scents and smells that commonly assailed the noses of Londoners in the late 19th century. It was a much more odorous period than we might imagine.
