• on 18 september 1924.

• I have known what it was to be a poor man and I have known what it was to be fairly affluent.
• I have sampled every kind of human experience.
• I have known many of the most remarkable men of my time.

„I have had a life which, for variety and romance, could, I think, hardly be exceeded. I have had a long literary career after a medical training which gave me the MD of Edinburgh…I have traveled as Doctor to a whaler for seven months in the Arctic and afterwards in the West Coast of Africa.

• I have seen something of three wars: the Sudanese, the South African and the German.
• My life has been dotted with adventures of all kinds.

Finally, I have been constrained to devote my latter years to telling the world the final result of thirty-six years' study of the occult…Such is the life which I have told in some detail in my „Memories and Adventures.” Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
