It was first released by G. Newnes Ltd. in the UK and Harper & Brothers in the US in February 1894. Following The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, it was the second anthology to feature the consulting detective Sherlock Holmes. It featured Sidney Paget's illustrations, the same as the first. The Adventures numbers 13 to 24 were the titles of the twelve tales when they were first published in The Strand Magazine in December 1892 and December 1893. The subtitle "XXIV.-The Adventure of the Final Problem" was used when "The Final Problem" was released, for example. With the exception of "The Final Problem," which first appeared in McClure's Magazine, all of the pieces were first published in Harper's Weekly in the United States. He was inspired by reader demand to write The Hound of the Baskervilles, a Holmes tale that takes place before "The Final Problem," in 1901-1922. The aftermath of "The Final Problem," in which it is revealed that Holmes actually survived, serves as the opening episode of a new series the following year called The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
