First and last for A Study in Scarlet

First:

In the year 1878 I took my degree of Doctor of Medicine of University of London, and proceeded to Netley to go through the course prescribed for surgeons in the army.

Last:

"Never mind," I answered; "I have all the facts in my journal, and the public shall know them. In the meantime you must make yourself contented with the consciousness of success like the Roman miser-

                "'Populus me sibilat, at mihi plaudo

                  Ipse domi simul ac nummos contemplar in arca.'"

(From the Satires of Horace: "The public hiss at me, but I applaud myself at my house when I think about the money in my strongbox."
