Returning from the Crimea, Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) was appalled by the conditions she found in many English civilian hospitals. Her belief that high mortality rates were preventable was seen as revolutionary. This 1859 collection of pieces on hospital design and sanitary conditions greatly contributed to improved medical care.
