Notes on Nursing What It Is And What It Is Not
Author: Florence Nightingale

"Every line of it from the preface to the end rivets the attention, every paragraph is suggestive, every page carries the reader into a world of thought." -Medical Times "This is a very remarkable book." -Lancet "We never read any book on any subject in which so much is said, and said so well, in shorter space....She has given an immense numb... more »er of hints on a subject of great importance; these are expressed in the most pointed and pithy terms, and her book is a boon to the public only second to that of her example and of what she may yet effect in the organization of an establishment for nurses....The authoress, in showing what nursing is and what it is not, makes her suggestions with a force of levity, and with a minute accuracy which will render her work of immense value in very house where there is an invalid, and in houses also where there are no invalids....From the publication of this little work we hope that we may date a new era for the art of nursing...There will be a great neglect of duty if Miss Nightingale's admirable little work is not so carefully studied that it becomes in fact the manual of every sick-room." -Times "The few specimens which we have chosen will give but a small idea of the power and wisdom and true goodness which pervade the whole of this little book. We wish it might find its way not only to every hospital and workhouse, but into every school and nursery in the kingdom....It is not to women alone that the 'Notes on Nursing' will be a profitable study." -Saturday Review "Nursing is, both in its essence and its practice, what Miss Nightingale has pointed out in this little manual before us: the intelligent rendering of natural laws; the careful attention to cause and effect." -Athenaeum "It is destined, we trust, to reduce the doctor's bill in many families, for we know no work of the kind in which so much is told so happily and so impressively....To every class, from the highest to the lowest, these Notes are addressed. Their direct earnestness and the immense importance of the truths they urge upon attention would ensure for them a general attention, if they were not written as they are by one whose name is forever to be associated with the subject upon which they treat." -Examiner "Every page reveals a delicate and earnest nature devoting rare qualities of intellect and heart to the practical study of that important but neglected social duty - the relieving of human suffering....The mere range of accurate and minute knowledge displayed in this volume is surprising....These Notes are full of valuable suggestions of the most practical and sagacious kind...Every page of the Notes is equally full of sound sense and delicate discrimination....They are addressed to women, and every woman in the country ought to read them. The most experienced will learn much from these pages....In publishing them, Miss Nightingale does a national service, one only second in importance to that which led her to sacrifice her health and repose in the fever-stricken hospitals of Scutari." -Daily News and Express "Too much praise, whether for its plan or its working out, cannot be bestowed upon this invaluable manual....We lack words to express our admiration of its details, or our confidence in every rule and regulation laid down....She has further earned the gratitude of the country by the publication of a volume that will be found ere long in the possession of every family to which the preservation of health and its concomitant blessings are dear." -Weekly Dispatch "Every father of a family should change his silver for these Notes....It is not too much to say, that no domestic library can be complete without them." -Punch

If you are looking for a book that gives technical facts that apply to today's nursing practice, look somewhere else. Where this book does excel in relation to nursing is showing how certain ideas and beliefs stand the test of time.
