on       the    front      endpaper:    "Miss     Pirrie/with/Florence
Nightingale's/deepest  &  warmest/interest/London October  1885."  Two
pages  of  text  have  brief  pencil   notes  that  appear  to  be  in
Nightingale's  hand.  On  page  6,   Anderson  notes  that  "universal
attention  came  to be directed to the proper care of the  sick"  as a
direct  result  of  Nightingale's  work  in  the  Crimean  War.  Books
inscribed  by Nightingale are quite uncommon, those with a  connection
to nursing extremely so. Very Good or better                  $3500.00
