1 First Entry-

From the personal journal of John H Watson.

The narrations of the life my friend, the great Sherlock Holmes, and I in this particular book will, to the best of my ability, never grace The Strand. Not for reason of containing horrors that the public should never have in there minds-on the contrary, it is reasons of personal history and affection, for it and in it, that I keep this book to myself and those who are heirs in the Holmesian Heritance.
