Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Florence Nightingale: A Biography This book could not have been written without constant reference to, and some quotation from, the letters and papers published in Sir Edward Cook's excellent two-volume biography of Florence Nightin gale. (macmillan 9 Co., Ltd., I am deeply indebted to Messrs. Macmillan for their kind permis sion to make these references and quotations. I should add that since the publication of my book in America and while the proofs of this English edition were in the press, Miss I. B. O'malley's biography of Florence Nightingale, written with the assistance of members of the Nightingale family, has been published. Miss o'malley's book (which does not go beyond the Crimean War) contains much interesting and hitherto unknown detail but, after reading it with great enjoy ment, I do not find that I need alter anything that I have written here. Indeed, the new official biography strengthens my previous impressions and, in particular, emphasizes what a very real struggle it was, at the outset, for Florence Nightingale to free herself from dependence upon ordinary human longings such as to please and be loved by her family and her friends.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fiery Angel: The Story of Florence Nightingale I would like to have everyone read this story of Florence Nightingale. I'd like them to know that within the lifetime of many living now, there was no school of scientific nursing in the world. Millions of men died who might have lived had there been proper hospital and nursing care. I am sure that the conditions in Crimea duplicated those of every large and bloody war until the coming of Florence Nightingale. But those conditions had never been adequately described before. It was because of what Florence Nightingale did that publicity was given to the facts as they were. In 1860 the first school for teaching scientific nursing was established as the result of her agitation. During my lifetime every nation has set up such schools and now every army has some nurses to care for their sick and wounded. Certainly this elaborate care of men in the armies today shows a marvelous evolution. War has become more terrible than ever before, but nursing has evolved with it and this last great thing the author has shown in this book. Those who read it will be grateful for the blessed enlightenment it sheds. They will certainly agree that Florence Nightingale was one of the greatest of the great.

Book Synopsis Florence Nightingale by : Cecil Woodham-Smith
Download or read book Florence Nightingale written by Cecil Woodham-Smith and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Florence Nightingale: 1820-1910 In writing this biography I have been given the opportunity of presenting what I believe to be a complete picture of Miss Nightingale for the first time. When Sir Edward Cook wrote his admirable official life immediately after Miss Nightingale's death, there was a large body of material which, for family and personal reasons, was either not available to him or he was asked not to use. He did not, for instance, see the Verney Nightingale papers; he saw only part of the collection I have described as the Herbert papers; and there was a great deal of other correspondence of which he was asked to make only a limited use. I have been fortunate enough to be given access to this material. My thanks are due, first and foremost, to Sir Harry Verney, Bart., who most generously placed at my disposal the very important Verney Nightingale papers comprising the domestic correspondence and private papers of Miss Nightingale's mother, Frances, her sister Parthenope, Lady Verney, and the Nightingale family circle. I am deeply indebted to Lord Herbert for allowing me to use unpublished material from the Herbert papers, establishing, among other important points, the true nature of the relationship between Miss Nightingale and Lord and Lady Herbert of Lea. I should like to thank the late Mrs. Salmon, Sir Harry Verney's sister, for unpublished letters and private information, and I owe very much to the late Lady Stephen, not only for unpublished letters and reminiscences, but for her kindness, too, in procuring me access to family papers. I am indebted to Sir Ralph Verney, Bart., for the correspondence of his father, Mr. Frederick Verney, with Miss Nightingale; to Sir Maurice Bonham-Carter for permission to make use of family papers; and to Mr. Leigh Smith for information of importance from the Leigh Smith papers. Sir Shane Leslie has allowed me to use two letters from his biography of Cardinal Manning, and Messrs. Hodder and Stoughton have kindly given me permission to quote extracts from letters published in Miss Elizabeth Haldane's Mrs. Gaskell and Her Friends.

Book Synopsis Florence Nightingale (Classic Reprint) by : Lytton Strachey
Download or read book Florence Nightingale (Classic Reprint) written by Lytton Strachey and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Florence Nightingale Every one knows the popular conception of Florence Nightingale. The saintly, self-sacrificing woman, the delicate maiden of high degree who threw aside the pleasures of a life of ease to succour the afflicted, the Lady with the Lamp, gliding through the horrors of the hospital at Scutari, and consecrating with the radiance of her goodness the dying soldier's couch - the vision is familiar to all. But the truth was different. The Miss Nightingale of fact was not as facile fancy painted her. She worked in another fashion, and towards another end; she moved under the stress of an impetus which finds no place in the popular imagination. A Demon possessed her. Now demons, whatever else they may be, are full of interest. And so it happens that in the real Miss Nightingale there was more that was interesting than in the legendary one; there was also less that was agreeable. Her family was extremely well-to-do, and connected by marriage with a spreading circle of other well-to-do families. There was a large country house in Derbyshire; there was another in the New Forest; there were Mayfair rooms for the London season and all its finest parties; there were tours on the Continent with even more than the usual number of Italian operas and of glimpses at the celebrities of Paris.

Download or read book The Life of Florence Nightingale, Vol. 1 of 2 written by Edward Cook and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02-02 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Florence Nightingale, Vol. 1 of 2: 1820-1861 Next to the letters and other papers, above described, the most valuable material for the Life of Miss Nightingale is contained in her own printed writings - many of them published, some (and these, from the biographical point of view, the most important) privately printed. In the case of the Crimean War, material under both of these heads is particularly abundant. Her published Notes on Hospitals and Notes on Nursing and other works relating to those subjects, together with her privately circulated Addresses to Probationers, supplement her private records. For her inner life, her privately printed book, Suggestions for Thought, is of special importance. A List of Miss Nightingale's Printed Writings (whether published or privately circulated) is given at the end of the second volume (appendix A). My purpose in compiling this List was biographical illustration, not bibliographical minuteness. I have not included every scrap from Miss Nightingale's pen which has appeared in print, but have given every piece which is directly or indirectly referred to in the Memoir, or which is of any importance. The List will, I hope, serve a double purpose. It enables me to abbreviate in the text the references to my authorities and it provides In chronological order, a conspectus of Miss Nightingale s varied activities, so far as they were reflected in her printed writings. Lastly, there is much biographical material, not only in Blue-books and official reports, but in writings about Miss Nightingale. Except in the case of the Crimean War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Florence Nightingale, 1820-1856: A Study of Her Life Down to the and of the Crimean War Sir Edward Cook's two large volumes, published by Messrs. Macmillan in 1915, give a wonderfully complete record of her work and include some valuable letters and quotations. They were abridged and revised in 1925 by Miss Nightingale's cousin, Mrs. Vaughan Nash, and this shorter biography, also published by Messrs. Macmillan, is still obtainable and should be in the posses sion of all who care about Florence Nightingale and do not own the larger book. In the present volume I have attempted something rather different from that which was so well accomplished by Sir Edward Cook and Mrs. Vaughan Nash. I have tried to give a faint representation of what might have been in the autobiography if it had existed and to show Florence Nightingale's early years as they may have appeared to herself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short Life of Florence Nightingale: Abridged From the Life, by Sir Edward Cook, With Additional Matter Manning seems, on Mr. Leslie's showing, to have been much concerned in the sending to Scutari of Miss Stanley's party of nurses. Of the religious differences which their arrival occasioned, he was able, at a distance, to take a philosophical View: Paul and Barnabas had a sharp con tention - why not Mother Francis and Mother Clare? It is new, I think, that Miss Stanley was received into the Roman Church before her return to England; though Man ning told her he saw no occasion to publish the fact at Constantinople for the moment. All this shows yet more clearly the activities on behalf of religious bodies by which Miss Nightingale's work was troubled. I do not know what authority Mr. Leslie has for the statement that she resigned the Balaclava hospital. It is inconsistent with the facts given by Sir Edward Cook.s Some new points and part of a letter from Miss Nightingale drawn from Mr. Leslie's book will be found on page 30.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Florence Nightingale: The Heroine of the Crimea The city where she was born is one of the fairest upon earth. One who visited it said: If you wish to see it to perfection, fix upon such a day as Florence owes the sun, and, climbing the hill Of Bellosguardo, or past the stages Of the Via Crucis to the church Of San Miniato, look forth upon the scene before you. You trace the course Of the Arno from the distant mountains on the right, through the heart of the city, winding along the fruitful valley toward Pisa. The city is beneath you, like a pearl Set in emerald. All colours are in the landscape, and all sounds are in the air. The hills look almost heathery. The sombre Olive and funereal cypress blend with the graceful acacia and the clasping Vine. The hum Of insect and the carol Of bird chime with the blithe voices Of men; while dome, tower, mountains, the yellow river, the quaint bridges, Spires, palaces, gardens, and the cloudless heavens overhanging, make up a panorama on which to gaze in trance of rapture, until the spirit wearies-from the exceeding beauty of the Vision.

Book Synopsis Florence Nightingale by : Catherine Reef
Download or read book Florence Nightingale written by Catherine Reef and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people know Florence Nightingale was a compassionate and legendary nurse, but they don’t know her full story. This riveting biography explores the exceptional life of a woman who defied the stifling conventions of Victorian society to pursue what was considered an undesirable vocation. She is best known for her work during the Crimean War, when she vastly improved gruesome and deadly conditions and made nightly rounds to visit patients, becoming known around the world as the Lady with the Lamp. Her tireless and inspiring work continued after the war, and her modern methods in nursing became the defining standards still used today. Includes notes, bibliography, and index.
Book Synopsis Florence Nightingale: The Crimean War by : Lynn McDonald
Download or read book Florence Nightingale: The Crimean War written by Lynn McDonald and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 1096 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Florence Nightingale is famous as the “lady with the lamp” in the Crimean War, 1854—56. There is a massive amount of literature on this work, but, as editor Lynn McDonald shows, it is often erroneous, and films and press reporting on it have been even less accurate. The Crimean War reports on Nightingale’s correspondence from the war hospitals and on the staggering amount of work she did post-war to ensure that the appalling death rate from disease (higher than that from bullets) did not recur. This volume contains much on Nightingale’s efforts to achieve real reforms. Her well-known, and relatively “sanitized”, evidence to the royal commission on the war is compared with her confidential, much franker, and very thorough Notes on the Health of the British Army, where the full horrors of disease and neglect are laid out, with the names of those responsible.
Download or read book An Angel of Mercy written by D. W. Clark and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Angel of Mercy: Florence Nightingale The most barren desert is not without its oasis, where the green grass springs up and the owers blossom. Nor is there any region so girt with ice and sand, that its desola tion is unrelieved by the lichen clinging to its native rock and greeting the eye with its verdure. So the darkest scenes of human history are often relieved by the revelation of some angel of mercy and love, commissioned for deeds that warm the heart with holy admiration. This gives us hope of our humanity, even in its darkest and most forbid ding forms. The scenes of the Crimean war in 1854 and 1855 are thus relieved by the heroic and philanthropic devo tion of one whose name will live, enrolled upon the bright page of the world's benefactors, 'long after the illustrious generals who led in the con ict have been forgotten. The death-defying charge upon the field of Balaklava has not more certainly become storied in the world's history than have the philanthropy and heroism of florence N ightingale.
