The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

So, as far as I can tell, here we have the first mention of Professor Moriarty in “The Final Problem”. Also, Sherlock’s older, smarter, but lazier brother Mycroft in “The Greek Interpreter”.

I guess what I find surprising is that Professor Moriarty only makes an appearance in two stories of the canon., which are really two parts of the same story. I guess from popular culture, I had thought he would be a continuous presence, akin to Silas Greenback in the Danger Mouse canon.
