Note 105 — Chapter III · PUBLIC HEALTH MISSIONARY FOR INDIA (1868–1872)
Reading edition
The other day in a bookseller's catalogue of “Association Books” I found this item: “Florence Nightingale's Notes on Lying-in Institutions. Presentation copy, with autograph inscription, ‘To His Excellency the Lord Napier, Madras, this little book, though on a most unsavoury subject, yet one which, entering into His Excellency's plans for the good of those under his enlightened rule, is not foreign to his thoughts—is offered by Florence Nightingale, London, Oct. 10, '71.’”
