About this book
These 1871 notes by Florence Nightingale begin with a hard case from the history of her own training work. In 1862 the Nightingale Fund Committee arranged with St. John's House for midwifery wards at King's College Hospital; in nearly six years 780 women were delivered there and 26 died, 17 of them from puerperal fever. A table gives the cases year by year. The title also promises a proposal for organising an institution to train midwives and midwifery nurses.
