Nightingale, Florence [1820 - 1910] — NOTES On NURSING For The LABOURING CLASSES.; Price Sixpence

London: Harrison & Sons, 59, Pall Mall, 1885. 'Sixty-Third Thousand'. Cf. Bishop & Goldie 6 (ii). Original publisher's printed pale green paper wrappers. 114, [2] pp. Including Chapters XIV - XVI [Convalescence, What is a Nurse?, "Minding Baby"], followed by the Conclusion and the Appendix [Method of Training Nurses]. Publisher advert last 2 pages. 6-1/2" x 4-1/8" [16.5 cm x 10.5 cm]. General wear & soiling to covers, with backstrip slightly sun-tanned. Age-toning to extremities. Paper chipping to spine ends. Withal, a VG copy. An uncommon edition of Nightingale's classic work; OCLC reports no holding of this 1885 edition. We find no copies returned on a COPAC search. NB. Bishop & Goldie state, in their entry for this work, that the 3 chapters that conclude this 1885 edition, "Convalescence, What is a Nurse, and Minding Baby" were not introduced until the 1914 "War Time" edition.. obviously, they are in error.
