The Life of Florence Nightingale Volume II Part 32

"Paper on Sanitary Progress in India," contributed by request to the Report, pp. 40-46. "Letter to the Bengal Social Science a.s.sociation,"

dated June 1870. Reprinted at pp. 288-291 of the same Report (see No. 56).

In the former of these Papers, Miss Nightingale criticized the introduction of conflicting disease-theories into sanitary reports, as tending to confuse the public mind and impede expenditure on sanitary improvement. Dr. Maclean, of the Netley Hospital, took exception to these views in the _Lancet_ (Oct. 29, 1870), and Miss Nightingale replied in the issue of November 19, 1870 (p. 725).
