This includes two contributions by F. N., viz.:
“Paper on Sanitary Progress in India,” contributed by request to the Report, pp. 40–46. “Letter to the Bengal Social Science Association,” dated June 1870. Reprinted at pp. 288–291 of the same Report (see No. 56).
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. Dr. Maclean, of the Netley Hospital, took exception to these views in the Lancet (Oct. 29, 1870), and Miss Nightingale replied in the issue of November 19, 1870 (p. 725).
