 The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, originally published in 1894, by Arthur Conan Doyle.
The first London edition of the Memoirs in 1894 did not include "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box," although all twelve stories had appeared in the Strand Magazine.
Additionally, with the removal of the story several of its opening pages, where Holmes emulates Dupin, were shoved into the beginning of "The Adventure of the Resident Patient," and some restored versions of the "Cardboard Box" 'include' this removal.

 CRITIQUE :: The Adventures and Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes
In the opinion of many readers, from casual fans to rabid Sherlockians, these stories are the best of the fifty-six short stories and four novels to feature Sherlock Holmes, an assessment that probably places them ahead of any other mystery fiction.
They include Jeremy Brett, whose portrayal of Holmes on TV in the 80’s and 90’s will probably never be surpassed, and Laurie R. King, whose novels team Holmes with a precocious young woman who shares his talents, and succeed triumphantly.
These well-crafted stories, with their sly humor, striking villains, and the incomparable team of Holmes and Watson, should be required reading for anyone interested in the development of the short story and the creation of a great literary figure.

Since Brett as Holmes is barely in this adaptation at all and you have a ridiculously active Mycroft in his place, none of this moving scene between Holmes and Watson survives the adaptation.

 The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes
In addition to being immensely entertaining, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes has the unfortunate bonus of tracing the decline of Jeremy Brett's health, episode by episode.
Additional credit for this is due to scripter Jeremy Paul, who took a good deal of license in bringing this story to the screen, including the creation of an entirely new character and the dramatization of important characters' backstories in order to give the audience some focus for their sympathies.
You couldn't ask for a much better conclusion to the Sherlock Holmes series that "The Cardboard Box." It's engrossing, surprising, emotional, clever, and, even though he was only filming every other day by this time, Brett is in fine form.
