Note 229 — Chapter VII · “THE NURSES' BATTLE”; AND HEALTH IN THE VILLAGE (1885–1893)

The Resolution is printed at pp. 38–42 of vol. xx. of the annual Report of Sanitary Measures in India (1888). It contains on the administrative side a history of the movement which was set on foot by Miss Nightingale's “second Royal Commission” (1863). The Secretary of State's dispatch (Jan. 10, 1889), approving of the Resolution, is full of “the Nightingale influence” (vol. xxi. p. 173): Colonel Yule's Minute was forwarded as an enclosure with the dispatch (pp. 173–184).
