Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from A Short Life of Florence Nightingale: Abridged From the Life, by Sir Edward Cook, With Additional Matter

Manning seems, on Mr. Leslie's showing, to have been much concerned in the sending to Scutari of Miss Stanley's party of nurses. Of the religious differences which their arrival occasioned, he was able, at a distance, to take a philosophical View: Paul and Barnabas had a sharp con tention - why not Mother Francis and Mother Clare? It is new, I think, that Miss Stanley was received into the Roman Church before her return to England; though Man ning told her he saw no occasion to publish the fact at Constantinople for the moment. All this shows yet more clearly the activities on behalf of religious bodies by which Miss Nightingale's work was troubled. I do not know what authority Mr. Leslie has for the statement that she resigned the Balaclava hospital. It is inconsistent with the facts given by Sir Edward Cook.s Some new points and part of a letter from Miss Nightingale drawn from Mr. Leslie's book will be found on page 30.
