Abstract: Concerns the plans behind and the successful execution of a professional training school for nurses in Liverpool. Nightingale, to whom the work is dedicated due to her large role in the founding of the school, wrote the introduction, discussing such concepts as the great need of the poor to convalesce peacefully, the importance of sanitation, and nursing as a "labor of love," a sort of religious vocation rather than as simple employment.
