Just quickly - it's nineteenth-century London, not eighteenth.

Hi doughnut slayer, Couple of things - you say - "Basic morals are expressed throughout these stories" shall we gloss over Holmes misogony and drug taking ? His endangerment of children ? His acceptance of the slum landlords ?
Perhaps a bit too sweeping a statement ?
At the end of the 1st paragraph there is a spurious 'for'
If this is a review of the book it needs to include all the stories in it. You don't need to give a breakdown of all the short stories, though a precis of the novels would be good. We perhaps need to know more about the author (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, not Dr John Watson) How a man of his supposed analytical talents was taken in by mediums, and the scientist he based Holmes upon. ( his name has gone.)
Just some thoughts

Well, the author doesn't appear to have been back for some months. Given that, and Jimster's post above, should we consider moving this thread back to the entry?
