However, the collection also brings the reader back to the beginnings of Holmes'' career, involving a mutiny at sea and a treasure hunt in a Sussex country house, and a first encounter with Holmes'' older brother Mycroft, of whom Holmes says, "If the art of the detective began and ended in reasoning from any armchair, my brother would be the greatest criminal agent that ever lived".

Six more tales of Sherlock Holmes... ''The Torso At Highgate Cemetery'' I watched as the policeman took out a notebook and read from an open page. He spoke in a whisper. Inspector Lestrade''s face turned ashen. He turned towards me, looking grim. ''The Mystery Of the Missing Artefacts'' August 1916. A telegram is brought to my fetid prison cell under the magnificent State rooms of Sultan Mehmed V Reşâd''s Çırağan Palace. It''s from Sherlock Holmes. "My dear Watson," it read, "do you remember the name of the fellow at the British Museum who contacted us over a certain matter just before I retired to my bee-farm in the South Downs?" ''The Case of the Seventeenth Monk'' "Now, Holmes," I interrupted, checking the dragoman was out of hearing range, "at least I''ve discovered you''re alive. What of the raison d''être of your presence in the back of beyond? What of this Otto Müller?" "What indeed?" came the rueful reply. ''The Strange Death of an Art Dealer'' "Oh my God!" he exclaimed despairingly. "It could be a catastrophe! I beseech you, Holmes, sort this whole thing out. I can neither think nor sleep nor attend to any matter of State." ''The Case of the Impressionist Painting'' Holmes folded his napkin and sat back, staring into the fire. "Watson, I do not say this lightly: a shiver went through me at the look in O''Clery''s eye when I revealed our identity. I have never before felt so deeply we were in the presence of some vast potency, a power of evil..." ''The Ambassador''s Skating Competition'' "Holmes," Watson retorted, "I must warn you, no one should confront such rich, powerful, and ruthless men head on. We learned that lesson a few years ago. We are not of their ilk. They''ll ride rough-shod over us again."

The Common Law is Oliver Wendell Holmes'' most sustained work of jurisprudence. In it the careful reader will discern traces of his later thought as found in both his legal opinions and other writings.At the outset of The Common Law Holmes posits that he is concerned with establishing that the common law can meet the changing needs of society while preserving continuity with the past. A common law judge must be creative, both in determining the society''s current needs, and in discerning how best to address these needs in a way that is continuous with past judicial decisions. In this way, the law evolves by moving out of its past, adapting to the needs of the present, and establishing a direction for the future. To Holmes'' way of thinking, this approach is superior to imposing order in accordance with a philosophical position or theory because the law would thereby lose the flexibility it requires in responding to the needs and demands of disputing parties as well as society as a whole.According to Holmes, the social environment--the economic, moral, and political milieu--alters over time. Therefore, in order to remain responsive to this social environment, the law must change as well. But the law is also part of this environment and impacts it. There is, then, a continual reciprocity between the law and the social arrangements in which it is contextualized. And, as with the evolution of species, there is no starting over. Rather, in most cases, a judge takes existing legal concepts and principles, as these have been memorialized in legal precedent, and adapts them, often unconsciously, to fit the requirements of a particular case and present social conditions. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841-1935) served as chief justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court and as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. He was nicknamed the "Great Dissenter" because of his many dissenting opinions. Holmes is also the author of Kent''s Commentaries on the Law (1873) and "The Path of the Law" (1897).Tim Griffin has advanced degrees in philosophy and law, and has taught philosophy and legal theory courses at a number of universities. He is currently a seminarian pursuing ordination to the priesthood in the Episcopal Church.

'' … once again Mr Sherlock Holmes is free to devote his life to examining those interesting little problems which the complex life of London so plentifully presents.''.Evil masterminds beware! Sherlock Holmes is back! Ten years after his supposed death in the swirling torrent of the Reichenbach Falls locked in the arms of his arch enemy Professor Moriarty, Arthur Conan Doyle agreed to pen further adventures featuring his brilliant detective. In the first story, ''The Empty House'', Holmes returns to Baker Street and his good friend Watson, explaining how he escaped from his watery grave. In creating this collection of tales, Doyle had lost none of cunning or panache, providing Holmes with a sparkling set of mysteries to solve and a challenging set of adversaries to defeat. The potent mixture includes murder, abduction, baffling cryptograms and robbery. We are also introduced to the one of the cruellest villains in the Holmes canon, the despicable Charles Augustus Milverton. As before, Watson is the superb narrator and the magic remains unchanged and undimmed.
