Doyle said that the character of Sherlock Holmes was inspired by Dr. Joseph Bell, for whom Doyle had worked as a clerk at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. Like Holmes, Bell was noted for drawing large conclusions from the smallest observations. Sir Henry Littlejohn, Lecturer on Forensic Medicine and Public Health at the Royal College of Surgeons, is also cited as a source for Holmes. Littlejohn served as Police Surgeon and Medical Officer of Health of Edinburgh, providing for Doyle a link between medical investigation and the detection of crime. The fantastic London-based consulting detective, Holmes is famous for his astute logical reasoning, his ability to take almost any disguise, and his use of forensic science skills to solve difficult cases. He is good at solving a case and Case analysis . He is busy working and he does not marry . He is very tall and he wears black cloak . He likes to smoke a pipe and wears deer hunting cap .

Such asA Study in Scarlet , The Sign of the Four , The Hound of the Baskervilles and so on . Holmes stories often begin with a bravura display of his talent for deduction. It is of some interest to logicians and those interested in logic to try to analyse just what Holmes is doing when he performs his induction. Holmesian deduction appears to consist primarily of drawing inferences based on either straightforward practical principleswhich are the result of careful inductive study, such as Holmess study of different kinds of cigar ashes or inference to the best explanation . Disguise , Holmes displays a strong aptitude for acting and disguise . And Jack the Ripper is difficult for him .3.4 Holmess Retired Life In His Last Bow, Holmes has retired to a small farm on the Sussex Downs.

Both exhibitions, each including its own Baker Street Sitting-Room reconstruction, are still open to the public. In 1990, the Sherlock Holmes Museum opened in Baker Street London and the following year in Meiringen, Switzerland another museum opened; naturally, they include less historical material about Conan Doyle than about Sherlock Holmes himself.
