Pastor Fliedner, embracing the support and care of a Hospital, Infant and Industrial Schools, and a Female Penitentiary. London: Printed by the inmates of the London Ragged Colonial Training School, Westminster, 1851. Octavo, paper wrappers, pp.32.

1855

(3) Evidence contained in Report upon the State of the Hospitals of the British Army in the Crimea and Scutari, 1855.

This is the Report of the Commission of Three sent out by the Duke of Newcastle (see Vol. I. p.176). Miss Nightingale's evidence is at pp. 330–331, 342–343; and there are numerous references to it in the text of the Report.

1857

(4) Female Nurses in Military Hospitals. A “tentative and experimental” Memorandum submitted by request to the Secretary of State. Printed in The Panmure Papers, 1908, vol.ii.pp.381–384.

This Memorandum was included, with a few slight modifications, at pp.15–19 of Subsidiary Notes (see No. 9).

One of the most important sources for many sides of Miss Nightingale's work in the East. The pamphlet contains plans, also, of the Hospitals at Balaclava and Scutari.

1858

(6) Letter to “the Colonists of South Australia,” dated Jan. 28. Printed in the Daily News, August 26, 1858.

The letter was a reply to a Memorial adopted at a Meeting held at Adelaide, September 10, 1856, in support of the Nightingale Fund.(7) Report of the Commission appointed to inquire into Regulations affecting the Sanitary Condition of the Army, the Organization of Military Hospitals, and the Treatment of the Sick and Wounded. Blue book, 1858.

Miss Nightingale's evidence, supplied in answer to written questions, occupies pp.361–394. It was reprinted in her Notes on Hospitals (ed. 1, 1859). Appendix LXXII. was also her work (anonymous). The whole Report may, in a sense, be included among her “Works” (see Vol. I. Part III. Chapters I. and IV.).

(8) Notes on Matters affecting the Health, Efficiency, and Hospital Administration of the British Army founded chiefly on the Experience of the late War. Presented by request to the Secretary of State for War. London: Harrison&Sons, 1858. Octavo, pp.567.

Octavo, pp.133. With 23 additional pages (separately numbered) of “Thoughts submitted as to an Eventual Nurses' Provident Fund.”

These important reports (for which see Vol. I. pp.343, 347) were not issued to the public. 500 copies of each volume were printed at a total cost to Miss N. of £501:12s.

(10) Various articles (unsigned) in the newspapers on the Hospital at Netley.

In July and August Miss N. organized a vigorous press-campaign on this subject (see Vol. I. p.383), and there is a large collection of cuttings amongst her papers. Some of the articles, etc., may have been written by friends. Those which are shown by her Papers to be hers are: “What is to be done with Netley?” in the Examiner, July 24, and “Netley Hospital” in the Saturday Review, August 28 (her own title for this latter was “Peel's Life Pills or the Elixir VitÆ”). Other articles, etc., probably hers, appeared in the Builder, July 24, the Daily News, July 28 (signed “Vigilans”), the Lancet, Aug. 14, and the Leeds Mercury, Aug. 21.(11) “Sites and Construction of Hospitals.” Three articles (unsigned) in the Builder, August 28, September 11 and 25, 1858.

These articles were reprinted in Notes on Hospitals (1859).

(12) “Notes on Hospitals.” Two Papers read at Liverpool. Printed in the Transactions of the National Association for the Promotion of Social Science, 1858, pp.462–482.

These papers were also printed separately (brown paper wrapper), 8vo, pp.22, with plan. They were reprinted in Notes on Hospitals (1859).

(13) Mortality of the British Army, at Home and Abroad, and during the Russian War, as compared with the Mortality of the Civil Population in England. Illustrated by Tables and Diagrams. (Reprinted from the Report of the Royal Commission appointed to enquire into the Regulations affecting the Sanitary State of the Army.) London: Printed by Harrison&Sons, 1858. Blue-book size, in stiff lilac paper wrappers, pp.21.

This was a reprint of Appendix LXXII. in the Royal Commission's Report, where it is stated that “The Tables and Diagrams are furnished by Dr.Farr, F.R.S.” They were prepared by him for Miss Nightingale (see Vol. I. p.376).

1859

(14) A Contribution to the Sanitary History of the British Army during the late War with Russia. Illustrated with Tables and Diagrams. London: Printed by Harrison&Sons, 1859. Large folio, pp.16 and diagrams.

Some copies had the imprint of J. W. Parker&Co. For a notice of this important work, see Vol. I. p.386. 150 copies were printed.

With Evidence given to the Royal Commissioners on the State of the Army in 1857. By Florence Nightingale. London: John W. Parker&Son, 1859. Octavo, pp.108.

For the two Papers (pp.1–22), see Vol. I. p.417. The MS. of them (entitled severally “Notes on the Health of Hospitals” and “Sixteen Sanitary Defects in the Construction of Hospital Wards”) is in the Liverpool Public Reference Library, bound in a volume with Miss Nightingale's letter of presentation. For the “Evidence” (pp.23–88), see above, No. 7. In an appendix (pp.89–108) three articles from the Builder are reprinted (see above, No. 11). There was a second edition of Notes on Hospitals in 1859. For the third edition, which was almost a new book, see under 1863.

(16) Notes on Nursing: What it is and what it is not. By Florence Nightingale. London: Harrison (1869). Octavo, pp.70.

Issued at the end of December 1859, at the price of 5s. This book, the most largely distributed of Miss Nightingale's writings, sold very quickly (15,000 copies within a month of publication), and numerous editions were issued (see Vol. I. p.448).

1860

(17) Notes on Nursing: What it is and what it is not. By Florence Nightingale. New edition, revised and enlarged. London: Harrison, 1860. Octavo, pp.224. Price 6s.

This edition, with much additional matter, was printed in larger type.[440] Simultaneously, a “Popular Edition” was issued, in limp cloth, price 2s.

The publisher also issued a pamphlet (without wrappers), pp.43, containing Reviews and Notices of “Notes on Nursing.”

The book was reprinted by Appleton&Co. in New York, and American editions appeared in 1860, 1876, 1879, 1883, 1891, 1901, 1906, 1908, 1909.

In England the book was most widely distributed in a cheap form (see 1861).

For foreign translations, see Nos. 22 and 116 (Italian), 26 (German), 32 (French).(18) Proceedings of the International Statistical Congress, Fourth Session, 1860. To this Congress (Second Section, Sanitary Statistics) Miss Nightingale contributed Papers, which were printed in various forms in its Proceedings, etc.

The Programme (quarto, pp.210) contains her Paper on “Hospital Statistics” (p.63), with an appendix containing her detailed “Proposal for an Uniform Plan of Hospital Statistics” (pp.65–71).

The Proceedings on Tuesday, July 17, report (p.2) the reading of her paper by one of the secretaries, and her suggestions were adopted, subject to some additions to the tabular form. The Proceedings of July 18 report further discussion on these additions. The Proceedings of July 19 contain (p.5) a letter from Miss Nightingale concurring in the additions. The Proceedings of July 20 mention that a letter was read from her “on subjects of inquiry for next Congress” (see (2) below).

The Report of the Congress (quarto, pp.548) contains (pp.173, 174) (1) an account of Miss Nightingale's Papers and of the conclusions of the Congress thereon (see Vol. I. p.431); (2) a letter from Miss Nightingale to Lord Shaftesbury on subjects of inquiry for the next Congress (pp.177–178).

Miss Nightingale had copies of her Papers separately printed, with an abstract of the discussions of the Congress thereon. Quarto, in blue paper wrappers.

For this book, printed for a very limited private circulation only, see Vol. I. pp.470 seq. The second and third volumes have a slightly different title (see Vol. I. p.478), Suggestions for Thought to Searchers after Religious Truth.

(20) Note on the New Zealand Depopulation Question.

I am not sure that this Note on the Aborigines of New Zealand has ever been printed; but it may have been. It was written at the request of Sir George Grey (see Vol. II. p.78), and the manuscript of it was bequeathed by him with all his other papers to the Auckland Public Library. The collection includes several letters from Miss Nightingale. The Note was the work of Miss Nightingale in collaboration with Dr. Sutherland.

(21) Note on Causes of Deterioration of Race. A short paper, printed (probably in 1860), but not, so far as I have traced, published.

(22) Cenni sull' Assistenza degli Ammalati. Quello che È assistenza, e quello che non lo È. Di Florence Nightingale. Tradotto dall' inglese da Sabilla Novello. Turin: Fratelli Bocca, 1860. Octavo, pp.96. Price 1 lira 50.

The preface is dated “March 1861.” An abridgment of the previous book; but with some additions, and with a supplementary chapter entitled “Minding Baby” (see Vol. I. p.450). This cheap edition was reprinted in 1865, 1868, 1876, 1883, 1885, 1888, 1890, 1894, 1898.

(24) Sidney Herbert. A Paper—headed “Private and Confidential” (no other heading and no title)—on his Services to the Army. Privately printed. Blue-book size, pp.5.

The substance of this Paper, considerably enlarged, appears in Army Sanitary Administration (1862). The Paper is dated “August 2, 1861” (the day of Sidney Herbert's death); it was written a few days later (see Vol. I. p.408).

(25) Miss Nightingale on the Volunteer Movement, in a letter to Sir Harry Verney. Printed on a folio card, intended, no doubt, for exhibition in post offices, halls, etc.

The letter, dated October 8 (P.S. Oct. 9), 1861, was printed in the Standard, October 12, and copies were distributed by the Non-Commissioned Officers of the 1st Sussex Volunteer Artillery at the Prize Distribution SoirÉe at the Royal Pavilion, Brighton, October 18, 1861.

For this Report, which was her work in further respects, see Vol. II. Pt. V., Chaps. II., III. The Report was issued in three different forms:

(1) As above.

(2) An octavo abridged edition (July 1863). This edition does not include either Miss N.'s “Observations” or the “Abstract.”

(3) A revised abridged edition, issued by the War Office. This was prepared by Miss Nightingale and included her “Observations” (pp.297–344), and a new “Abstract of the Evidence” (pp.157–297) prepared by her. For the story of these three editions, see Vol. II. pp.35–38.

This is a reprint of the “Observations,” with all the illustrations (see No. 33). The Publisher said in a prefatory note: “On a subject of the highest interest to the country, it appears desirable that Miss Nightingale's views should be placed in the hands of the public, both in England and in India. Those who have Miss Nightingale's other volumes will thus be able to add to them a book which is second to none of them in charm of style, and will promote the reform of the sanitary condition of the British Army, as well as conduce to the wellbeing of the natives of India.”

Extracts from the “Observations” and from “How People may live and not die in India” (No. 41) were printed in the Soldier's Friend, July 1, 1865.

(35) Proposal for Improved Statistics of Surgical Operations. Quarto, pp.7; dated December 1863.

Of (4) a separate edition, slightly altered, was issued (see No. 38).

The publication of this third edition led to a lively discussion in the medical press. The Lancet approved of Miss Nightingale's statistical method (Feb. 27, 1864). The Medical Times (Jan. 30) strongly attacked it. Dr.Farr defended it (Feb. 13), and a correspondence ensued for some weeks which was as heated as professional disputes generally are. The reviews in the general press were very numerous.

This is reprinted, slight alterations, from the appendix in the third edition of Notes on Hospitals.

In the former of these Papers, Miss Nightingale criticized the introduction[447] of conflicting disease-theories into sanitary reports, as tending to confuse the public mind and impede expenditure on sanitary improvement.

(93) Opinions of Women on Women's Suffrage. A leaflet (8vo, pp.4, printed by A. Ireland&Co., Manchester); Florence Nightingale's opinion (dated July 1878) occupies p.1:—

You ask me to give my reasons for wishing for the suffrage for women householders and women ratepayers. I have no reasons. The Indian ryot should be represented so that the people may virtually rate themselves according to the surveys of what is wanted, and spend the money locally under certain orders of an elected board. If this is the case: that we wish to give to the Indian native, peasant and Zemindar alike, such local representation as we can in spending the taxes he pays, is the educated English taxpayer, of whichever sex, to be excluded from a share in electing the Imperial representatives? It seems a first principle, an axiom: that every householder or taxpayer should have a voice in electing those who spend the money we pay, including, as this does, interests the most vital to a human being—for instance, education. At the same time I do not expect much from it, for I do not see that, for instance in America, where suffrage is, I suppose, the most extended, there is more (but rather less) of what may truly be called freedom or progress than anywhere else. But there can be no freedom or progress without representation. And we must give women the true education to deserve being represented. Men as well as women are not so well endowed with that preparation at present. And if the persons represented are not worth much, of course the representatives will not be worth much.

It is my experience that such men exist only in England: a man who had everything (to use the common phrase) which this world could give him, but who worked as hard, and to the last, as the poorest able man—and all for others—for the common weal. A man whose life makes a great difference for all: all are better off than if he had not lived; and this betterness is for always, it does not die with him—that is the true estimate of a great life.” These words were quoted at the head of an article on Lord Wantage in the Edinburgh Review, January 1902.

(13) Davis. The Autobiography of Elizabeth Davis, a Balaclava Nurse. Edited by Jane Williams. 2 vols. Hurst&Blackett, 1857.

Davis was one of Miss Stanley's party. She served as cook in the General Hospital at Balaclava. Though the work of an obviously uneducated and prejudiced woman, the book is useful as illustrating the intrigue against Miss Nightingale in the Crimea, and as reflecting the hostility which her strict discipline excited among some of the nurses. The book is not to be trusted. Miss Nightingale made very pungent remarks on this old woman's romancing about Lord Raglan and others.

APPENDIX C

List of Portraits, Photographs, etc., of Florence Nightingale

Authentic likenesses of Miss Nightingale, except in her earlier years, are very few. When she had become famous, she shrank from publicity. She was very seldom photographed, and as a general rule she refused to sit for her portrait. The demand for portraits of her was great, and the demand created a supply. This list includes, however, with one probable exception (No. 5), only such portraits as are authentic.

(1) 1820–1. Water-colour drawing of F. N. as a baby on the knee of her Italian nurse Balia. At Lea Hurst.

(2) 1828. Water-colour drawing of Mrs.Nightingale with her two daughters (Florence is on her mother's knee). In the possession of Mrs.Leonard Cunliffe, daughter of Sir Douglas Galton. Reproduced as frontispiece to Vol. I.

(3) 1828. Water-colour drawing of Mrs.Nightingale with her two daughters, by A. E. Chalon. At Claydon. (Similar to, but not identical in costume with, the foregoing.)

(4) 1839. Water-colour portrait, by William White, of Florence Nightingale (sitting) and her sister, Parthenope, standing. In possession of Mrs.Coltman.

(5) circ. 1840. Small oil portrait by Augustus L. Egg, R.A. In the National Portrait Gallery (No. 1578). This picture was bought from Mrs.Salis Schwabe (an admirer of Miss Nightingale with whom she had a slight acquaintance) by Mr.William Rathbone, with a view to its presentation to the nation; and was given to the Portrait Gallery in 1910 by Mrs.Rathbone in accordance with her husband's desire. In view of these facts, and as the attribution to Egg agrees with dates, the Trustees accepted the portrait as authentic. Miss Nightingale's family, however, doubt whether it is so. There is no general resemblance. The face is plump, and all other portraits at that age show a thin face. The narrow ridge of F. N.'s nose is not given. The chestnut colour of the hair in the portrait is not true to life. The eyebrows are unlike. The expression is most uncharacteristic. All other early portraits, even quite slight ones, are remarkable for a peculiarly contained, self-possessed expression. The dress and ornaments are out of character; and Miss Nightingale never wore ear-rings. If the portrait be indeed of her, and by a practised artist, it can hardly have been made from the life.

(6) c. 1845. Pencil sketch by Miss Hilary Bonham Carter. In the possession of Miss B. A. Clough. Reproduced in Vol. I. p.3838.

(7) c. 1850. Full-length, standing beside a pedestal, on which stands an owl. Engraved by F. Holl from a pencil drawing by Parthenope Nightingale (Lady Verney). Reproduced in the Illustrated Times, February 2, 1856, and as frontispiece to the Victoria Miniature Almanack and Fashionable Remembrancer for 1857.

(8) c. 1852. Large pencil head, copied about 1880 by J. R. Parsons from a drawing by Lady Eastlake. The original was in bad condition and is believed to have been destroyed. The copy is at Lea Hurst.

(9) c. 1852. Photograph, three-quarter face, almost profile; three-quarter length, seated, reading. A striped scarf. Taken in Germany. At Claydon.

(10) 1854. Photograph, seated, looking down, by Kilburn, then 222 Regent Street. Taken during Miss Nightingale's time at Harley Street. There were two positions as mentioned in the letter of Mrs. Sutherland noticed under No. 15, “looking down in one, in the other the eyes raised.” These are the photographs which some of Miss Nightingale's family considered the best.

(11) 1854. A sketch; seated, reading a book; white flower in her hair; red cross on her neck. “H. M. B. C. del.” [Miss Hilary Bonham Carter, whose initials, however, were J. H. B. C.] “Published November 28, 1854, by P. and D. Colnaghi: Colnaghi's Authentic Series.” There was also published an uncoloured print of the same drawing, which in turn was adapted in various forms—as in a print published by W. Bemrose&Sons, lettered “Miss Florence Nightingale, the Good Samaritan of Derbyshire, reading the accounts of the dreadful sufferings of our brave wounded soldiers,” etc., etc.

(12) 1855. Miss Florence Nightingale and Mr.Bracebridge on Cathcart's Hill, May 8, 1855. Lithographed by Day, and published. This drawing was made up by Lady Verney and Lady Anne Blunt from a slight sketch by Mrs.Bracebridge. Many other prints, still further removed from life, were published—such as: “Florence Nightingale in the Military Hospital at Scutari” (a coloured print published, March 16, 1855, by Read&Co., 10 Johnson's Court, Fleet Street); “Miss Florence Nightingale, the Soldiers' Friend” (drawn by Elston, published May 1, 1856, by Ellis, 51 Jewin Street, City); and “The Great Military Hospital at Scutari” (published, with a sentimental legend, Feb. 24, 1855, by Stannard&Dixon, 7 Poland Street).

(13) 1856. Oil picture of Miss Nightingale receiving the wounded at Scutari, by Jerry Barratt. Engraved as “Florence Nightingale at Scutari, A Mission of Mercy,” by S. Bellin. The picture is in the possession of Sir Percy Bates, Bart.

(14) 1856. Photograph, three-quarter length, three-quarter face, standing, by The London Stereoscopic Co. This photograph was taken at the request of Queen Victoria, and has often been reproduced.

(15) 1856. Plaster statuette; standing, with a lamp in the right hand, by Miss Hilary Bonham Carter. At Lea Hurst. There are several replicas, or versions with some differences. One is at St. Thomas's Hospital; another, in Mr.Henry Bonham Carter's possession; another, at Claydon. A second version was, by advice of Mr.Woolner, R.A., made less full in the skirt. A small version, on a reduced scale (about 15 in. high), was also made, and is very widespread. There is a letter to Miss Nightingale from Mrs.Sutherland (June 1866), in which she says: “There are photographs of the statuette which (though it seems odd to say so) are more characteristic than the actual portraits, none of which but the ‘owl’ one [No. 7], which you deprecate, give a real idea of what you were ten years ago.”

(16) c. 1858. Photograph, full-length, full face, standing, by Goodman. This was generally considered by Miss Nightingale's family to be the best likeness; reproduced in Vol. I. p.394.

(17) 1862. Marble bust, by Sir John Steell. This bust, presented to Miss Nightingale by the non-commissioned officers and men of the British Army, has been placed in the Museum of the Royal United Service Institution in accordance with the provisions of her will. There is a replica at Lea Hurst.

(18) 1864. Commencement of a head by G. F. Watts, R.A. Miss Nightingale was persuaded by Sir Harry Verney to receive Mr. Watts on one or two occasions, who made a beginning only of a portrait. It is very slight, and Mr.Watts regarded it as so far a failure. He hoped to be able to resume the work, but abandoned the idea when Sir William Richmond made a portrait. The unfinished canvas is at Limnerslease.

(19) 1887. Oil portrait, half-length, by Sir W. B. Richmond, R.A. At Claydon. Reproduced as frontispiece to this volume. 1887 was the year of the final sittings; the portrait was begun at an earlier date.

(20) c. 1890. Photograph, side face, in veil, by Colonel G. Lloyd Verney.

(21) 1891. Photograph, three-quarter length, seated on a couch, full face, by S. G. Payne&Son, Aylesbury. Taken at Claydon.

(22) 1906. Two photographs of Miss Nightingale in her room; by Miss E. F. Bosanquet. One of these, enlarged, is reproduced above, p.306.

(23) 1907. Two water-colour drawings (and a replica), by Miss F. Amicia de Biden Footner. One is reproduced above, p.404. These drawings of Miss Nightingale in her room at South Street are in possession of various members of the family.

(24) 1908. Chalk-drawing, by Countess Feodora Gleichen. At Windsor, made (from life) by command of King Edward VII. for a collection of portraits of members of the Order of Merit.
