Holmes est primus privatus quaestor qui res modo scientifico studet. Ante eum, notabantur Iosephus Bell et "Monsieur Lecoq" Aemilii Gaboriau; post eum haud reperitur quaestor qui personae eius comparari potest.
Habemus de Sherlock Holmes quinquaginta sex fabulas breves, quattuor longas, a socio suo Iohanne Watson doctore prope semper narratas.
Plurimae lectorum societates vitae et rebus gestis Holmesis student. Invenies etiam musea rebus Holmesianis dedicata, inter quae est illud Lucernae in Helvetia situm.
Titulis adduntur abbreviatones internationaliter approbatae, quas anno 1947 Jay Finley Christ in opere Irregular Guide to Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street introduxerat.
