*Stories from the Diary of a Doctor* is a collection of 12 Victorian mystery /detective stories from the *Strand Magazine*, then released in book form in 1894. A second series appeared in 1896.
The *Diary of a Doctor* series has been likened to Sherlock Holmes - the first instalment, 'My First Patient', appeared in the July 1893 edition of The *Strand Magazine* alongside Conan-Doyle's Holmes story 'The Adventure of the Crooked Man'. The *Literary News* had this to say on the collection of stories: "Twelve stories, presenting some cases supposed to have come under the direct attention of a young London physician. It is claimed by their collaborating authors that several of the tales included are founded on actual experience, and that all have been written with a close observance to medical facts, and in accordance with the advances made in surgery during the last decade."
