Tooley, Sarah A. Life of Florence Nightingale. [*]$1.75. Macmillan.
A biography written to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the famous mission to Crimea. The story of that two years’ service which made Miss Nightingale’s name a household word throughout the British empire is fully given, and the dignity which her noble and efficient labors give to the hitherto stigmatized profession of nursing is well described. There is a full account of her life from her birth in Florence, 1820, of her childish ministrations to dolls and animals, her labors in field and hospital, her work for the soldier after her return from the front, her friendships, her literary career, and her life at the present day. There are twenty-two illustrations.
