Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes · Volume II

James Innes Watson, the great great grandson

of Dr. John H. Watson has inherited all of

manuscripts of his famous forebear. These

include many stories, that for one reason or

another Watson never published: Conan Doyle

advised against publication of the Scotsman

tale because of the Freemasonry references,

Watson himself suppressed the Cartomancy

because of its close relationship with Conan

Doyle himself, the Colonial story was deemed politically sensitive,

and the fi nal two stories involve the Royal Family and could not be

obfuscated. Now after a hundred years or more these tales can be told.
