About the book: 2012 / This manuscript was kept in one of the Swiss banks and, in the full sense of the word, was waiting in the wings. The envelope bore the date 1907 and Dr. Watson's handwritten note: "To be opened in a hundred years." After the agreed period in 2007, the envelope was opened by a pre-established commission of nine people. The commission included a graphologist, linguist, literary critic, historian - specialist in the 19th century, psychologist, analyst, honorary member of the Sherlock Holmes Society, Professor D., representative of the British press, the famous polymath Sh. and a researcher from the Museum of Forensics at Scotland Yard. All other specialists in Sherlock Holmes constituted a special alternative group that closely monitored the activities of the commission. There is no need to talk about this in detail here, since the entire report was widely covered by the press. Three independent examinations were carried out, which ultimately confirmed the original opinion of experts that the handwriting, the age of the manuscript and all the characteristic features of vocabulary and style undoubtedly speak in favor of the authorship of Dr. John G. Watson. Thus, for the first time, we all have the opportunity to familiarize ourselves with an unknown manuscript of a famous writer and meet a hundred years later with the most famous detective in history, the unsurpassed SHERLOCK HOLMES!
