Florence Nightingale in Rome
In 1847-48 Florence Nightingale, at that time a young women of 27 and unknown to the world, accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bracebridge, who were wintering in Rome for health reasons. During that time she wrote over 50 letters to her family and friends describing the sights she had seen, the people she had met, and the political changes which were exciting Rome at this springtime of the risorgimento. She had actually been born in Florence, Italy (for which she was named) in 1820, while her family was spending several years on the Continent. This volume presents Florence's letters in 4 sections: en route to Italy; Rome; Paris, on the way home; and letters to Mr. Colyar. 16 illus.
