	Sir, — Honour where honour is due. In your leading article on [[Sherlockholmitos]] you say that it was an Oxford man, Father [[Ronald Knox]], "who began it all twenty-one years ago," and though, later, you pay deserved tribute to Mr. [[S. C. Roberts]] for his "standard life of Dr. Watson," and by the mere mention of my name do enough honour to my own modest work in this field, the injustice to Cambridge scholarship remains. Not 21 but 30 years ago, in the ''Cambridge Review'', Mr. [[Frank Sidgwick]] was subjecting to the Higher Criticism the latest addition to the [[Sherlock Holmes]] saga, "[[The Hound of the Baskervilles]]." To Cambridge, then, the recognition due to the pioneer; to Oxford the customary congratulations on the inevitability with which, sooner or later, she hits the trail.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES

Sir, — Honour where honour is due. In your leading article on [[Sherlockholmitos]] you say that it was an Oxford man, Father [[Ronald Knox]], "who began it all twenty-one years ago," and though, later, you pay deserved tribute to Mr. [[S. C. Roberts]] for his "standard life of Dr. Watson," and by the mere mention of my name do enough honour to my own modest work in this field, the injustice to Cambridge scholarship remains. Not 21 but 30 years ago, in the ''Cambridge Review'', Mr. [[Frank Sidgwick]] was subjecting to the Higher Criticism the latest addition to the [[Sherlock Holmes]] saga, "[[The Hound of the Baskervilles]]." To Cambridge, then, the recognition due to the pioneer; to Oxford the customary congratulations on the inevitability with which, sooner or later, she hits the trail.

Yours, &c.,

A. A. MILNE. 13, Mallord Street, Chelsea, S.W.3.
