The Return of Sherlock Holmes. First British edition, containing 13 tales. It is the third collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, following Adventures (1892) and Memoirs (1894). The second collection ended with Holmes's apparent death in "The Final Problem", though popular demand eventually persuaded Doyle to announce the character's survival in the first story printed here, "The Adventure of the Empty House".The British edition was issued on 7 March 1905, following the American edition, which was published the previous month.
