	The Great Detective Stories (1927, 1946 ed.) by Willard Huntington Wright
		His four analytic stories — "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt," "The Gold-Bug," and "The Purloined Letter" — were but a literary development, or application, of the ideas and problems which always fascinated him.
		He does not mar the pure and lovely outlines of a classical murder or burglary by wreathing it round and round with the dirty and dingy red tape of international diplomacy; he does not lower our lofty ideas of crime to the level of foreign politics.
		Murder would appear to give added zest to the solution of the problem, and to render the satisfaction of the solution just so much greater.
