pp. lxxx. + 301. A translation of _Notes on Nursing_ (1860). A biographical "Notice sur Miss Florence Nightingale" occupies pp. lxi.-lxxvii. For a reference to Guizot's letter, see Vol. I. p. 82. 1863 (33) _Report of the Royal Commission on the Sanitary State of the Army in India, 1863._ Large-size Blue-book, 2 vols.

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. (34) _Observations on the Evidence contained in the Stational Reports submitted to the Royal Commission on the Sanitary State of the Army in India. By Florence Nightingale._ (_Reprinted from the Report of the Royal Commission._) London: Edward Stanford, 1863. Octavo, pp. 92, bound in red cloth. Price 2s. 6d. 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 well-being 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. The proposal had been submitted to the International Statistical Congress held at Berlin in 1863 (see Vol. I. p. 434). The Paper was included in the _third_ edition of _Notes on Hospitals_ (No. 37). (36) _Note on the Supposed Protection afforded against Venereal Disease by recognizing Prostitution and putting it under Police Regulation._ Folio, pp. 8. Not signed, and headed "Private and Confidential." Miss N. printed 20 copies only (see Vol. II. p. 75). (37) _Notes on Hospitals. By Florence Nightingale. Third edition, enlarged and for the most part rewritten._ London: Longmans, 1863. Quarto, pp. 187. This edition comprised (1) the two Papers (rewritten) of the first edition (but not the evidence to the Royal Commission of 1857); (2) new chapters on Improved Hospital Plans, Convalescent Hospitals, Children's Hospitals, Indian Military Hospitals, Hospitals for Soldiers' Wives; (3) Hospital Statistics, A. General Statistics, B. Proposal for Improved Statistics of Surgical Operations; (4) an appendix "On Different Systems of Hospital Nursing." Of these contents, (3) A. was substantially a reprint of No. 27; and (3) B. of No. 35. 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. (38) _Note on Different Systems of Nursing._ A pamphlet, 8vo, pp. 5 (printed by Harrison & Sons). This is reprinted, slight alterations, from the appendix in the _third_ edition of _Notes on Hospitals_. (39) _Transactions of the National Association for the Promotion of Social Science, 1863_, containing two Papers by F. N.: (1) Sanitary Statistics of Colonial Schools, pp. 475-488 (discussion on the paper, p. 557). (2) How Men may live and not die in India, pp. 501-510 (discussion, pp. 557-558).
