In my many years of association with Basil of Baker Street, it has been my privilege to both aid in the solution of and record for the general public, various cases of the great detective. Yet there may be some among my readers with an more of as interest in the mouse himself, his qualities and characteristics. For that, I trust, not inconsiderable number, I present this list defining the limits of my friend and colleague, Basil of Baker Street, the Great Mouse Detective.

Dr. David Q. Dawson

Basil of Baker Street--his limits

1. Knowledge of Philosophy.--Nil.

9. Knowledge of Chemistry.--Profound.
10. "" Anatomy.--Accurate, but unsystematic.
11. "" Sensational Literature.--Immense.
