The Hound of the Baskervilles: Illustrated (1902) by Arthur Conan Doyle is the third of four crime novels. Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish physician and writer who is most noted for his fictional stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes. Originally serialised in The Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902, it is set largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound. Sir Charles Baskerville, a baronet, is found lying dead among yew trees in the grounds of his country house, Baskerville Hall. The cause of death is ascribed to a heart attack. Fearing for the safety of Sir Charles's nephew and only known heir, Henry Baskerville—who was coming to London from Canada to claim his inheritance—Dr James Mortimer travels from Devon to London, and appeals for help to Sherlock Holmes. Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle, was a Scottish physician and writer, most noted for his stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, generally considered a milestone in the field of crime fiction, and for the adventures of Professor Challenger.

To Sherlock Holmes She Is Always The Woman. I Have Seldom Heard Him Mention Her Under Any Other Name. In His Eyes She Eclipses And Predominates The Whole Of Her Sex. It Was Not That He Felt Any Emotion Akin To Love For Irene Adler. All Emotions, And That One Particularly, Were Abhorrent To His Cold, Precise But Admirably Balanced Mind. He Was, I Take It, The Most Perfect Reasoning And Observing Machine That The World Has Seen, But As A Lover He Would Have Placed Himself In A False Position. He Never Spoke Of The Softer Passions, Save With A Gibe And A Sneer. They Were Admirable Things For The Observer--Excellent For Drawing The Veil From Men's Motives And Actions. But For The Trained Reasoner To Admit Such Intrusions Into His Own Delicate And Finely Adjusted Temperament Was To Introduce A Distracting Factor Which Might Throw A Doubt Upon All His Mental Results. Grit In A Sensitive Instrument, Or A Crack In One Of His Own High-Power Lenses, Would Not Be More Disturbing Than A Strong Emotion In A Nature Such As His. And Yet There Was But One Woman To Him, And That Woman Was The Late Irene Adler, Of Dubious And Questionable Memory. [more]
