Preface “It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data” (SCAN) How can anyone, no matter how reliable a memory he has, recall infonnafion concerning aimost every thu or theory about Sherlock Holmes and his world without knowing what had been written on t1’is subject before? On the subject of Holmes and of Sherlockian scholarship — including personal accounts, theories about almost every aspect of every story, and/or unanswered questions — much has been done and much remains to be done. And where would one go to learn what has been written in fact or theory but to THE BAKER STRFErJOURNAT, now in its 48th year ofpublication? This periodical is replete with infinite accounts of research, personal memories, poems, and numerous aspects of the Sherlockian world. It should be noted that today there are a number of informative and thoughtful publications; nevertheless, the index to the BSJ will aid all students of the subject. This publication, a companion to BSJ19461.969: A Cwrnilative Index to The Baker StreetJournal, will continue the invaluable work. Now we will have an indespensible subjec4/author index to items in all ofTHE BAKER STREETJOImNALS since 1946. All Sherlockians will be indebted to D. A. Redmond for this great research tool. John Bennett Shaw September 1994 B.SJ. 1970-1993: A CUMULATED INDEXTO THE BAKER STEFE~JOURNAL VOLUMES 20-43 “It is obviously an attempt to convey secret information? “So our book has already become a. large book, which is something gained? “The vocabulary.., is nervous and terse, but limited.” The Valley of Fear SIIERLOCKHOLMFSIwas alluding to Bmthhaw~,Railway Guide, but the description also fits this Irregular Sherlockian index to THE BAXER Sitrrr JOURNAL Since the publication of the first such index, B.SJ 19466.9 covering the Old Series of theJouart~ and Volumes 149 of the New Series, and a lesser and little distributed five year index (1970-74), the accumulated contents of the JOURNAL have grown beyond the powers of recall of any student ofthe Canon. The period 1975-1992 also marked the Fordham Years during which theJotiRri sL was published by theFordham University Press. During those years (andsince) an annual4 index appears at the end of each volume, but hunting through twenty-odd (odd?) volumes tires even the most persistent sleutk A real need has grown for a Sherlockian finding tool. The wide range of Sherlockian scholarship over those years means a great many scribbled additions to the list used as a control upon the nervous and terse, but no longer very limited, vocabulary of these indexes, looking back at the 1946.69 and 1970-74indexes one could see their shortcomings, and a few ways of making a new index even terser. This index is, therefore, in one alphabet, including author, title, subject and departmental entries. Titles of articles axe givenwithin quotation marks. Ifthe first words of the title of an article axe the same as thetitle of one of the Canonical cases (tales), or the same as the words used forthethpicoftheaMde,thetiUeofthearticleisomittedfromtheindex~ ThewordsA, An, The, at the beginning oftitles, are omitted. Subtitles of articlesare omitted (unless the title alone is unclear) for brevity. Titles of regularly-appearing sections or departments are emphasized in small capital letters, such as AwAi~Ds;SOCIFMFS; FROM THE EDITOR’S C0MM0NnAcE Boox. Small items in the COMMONPLACE BOOK and similar sections are not always indexed. Sherlockian societies are listed under SOclEnEs usually when first mentioned only; they may also be listed separately under societyname. The word “scion” indicates that a society is an affiliate ofthe Baker Street Irregulars or of another national society “society” may be added if the name is not clearly that of a society. Headings The vocabulary of the index is Irregular, which is to say Idiosyncratically Sherlockian, but cross-references are liberally given to guide the user. Headings such as Canon; Scholarship; Social structure; Chronology, will soon become familiar. Articles about individual cases are listed under the title of the case; the words ‘Case of” or “Adventure of”at the beginning of Canonical titles are disregarded. Pastiches or parodies are listed under hill tiffe, beginning with “Adventure” or ‘Case”, and also under the heading Pastiches or Parodies. When the title of a Canonical case occurs within an entry, the standardJ.F. Christ abbreviations are used. Fiction by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is usually listed under the title of the item, rather than under Doyle. Verse is listed-under its own title, but not in a separate section. E.Sj. 1970-1993 Sample eniry Sherman, taxidermist (SIGN): Holland 21:85 An item about Sherman, who appears in The Sign of Four, written by Holland, is in VoL21 beginning on page 85. The yearis omitted because it is always SO plus the volume number 50+21 1975. The month is omitted because pages in each volume are numbered from 1 to 256 through the year. The last page number, or length of the article, is omitted for brevity. J.F. Christ Abbreviations The abbreviation of a Canonical title consists of the frst four letters of the title, disregarding ‘Adventure of’, with the following exceptions: ENGR ‘The Engineer’s Thumb” IDEN: ‘A Case of Identity’ LADy: ‘The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax’ LASfl ‘His Last Bow” (the individual case, not the collected volume) 3GAB: ‘Three Gables’ 3GAIt ‘Three Garridebs’ 38TH: ‘Three Students’ Other Abbreviations acjvt. advertisement jt.au. joint author BSI Baker StreetIrregulars (U.S.A.)
