1876rif. 163298London: Smith Elder & Co. 1876. Educating one of her shipwrecked nurses Third edition of this landmark medical textbook presented by Nightingale to a promising Nightingale School trainee on the eve of her departure for Canada to provide emergency medical relief. Evidently well used by its recipient the volume reflects Nightingale's close engagement with her nurses and her sustained encouragement of their professional development. The warm inscription on the half-title reads: "Nurse Ellen Webb: on going out to Montreal: with Florence Nightingale's love & prayers. Go on & on! London: July 1876". Webb's name and occupation were first written in pencil and then traced in ink; the second line is also in ink with the remainder of the inscription left in pencil. Ellen Webb was one of four Nightingale nurses dispatched to the Montreal General Hospital in August 1876. The lady superintendent Maria Machin had herself entered the Nightingale School in 1873 and proved an exceptional teacher of probationers. At the hospital's request the Nightingale Fund Council agreed - reluctantly given her abilities - to her transfer in 1875. Machin arrived in October with four Nightingale nurses and rapidly improved nursing standards. When a typhoid epidemic struck in 1876 she sought further assistance. Webb Anna Marsh Jane Masters and Jane Cross - all just completing their first year of training in London - were selected for the second team. Nightingale wrote on 4 May 1876 that Webb was "most excellent and admirable; I believe she would go to Canada. Webb and Rodgers really the highest women on my list" McDonald p. 537. As Helmstadter notes Webb had a "right-minded gentle forbearing disposition. not clever but anxious to learn" and under difficult conditions in their second year Cross and Webb "did even better" when Machin was unable to provide regular supervision. Economic pressures in Montreal forced budget reductions and four Nightingale nurses including Cross and Webb departed in July 1878. Their ship was wrecked on an island in the St Lawrence River leaving them stranded for a week. Their safe arrival in Glasgow on 9 August was marked by prayers of thanksgiving and by a published account of their ordeal organized and edited by Nightingale from their letters home: From Nurse Wilson's Nurse Styring's Nurse Cross's and Nurse Webb's Accounts of the Shipwreck on Their Voyage Home from Canada on Duty. Nightingale later remarked privately: "The nurses are not much the worse. They seem to have behaved admirably. Help us to thank God for them and for ourselves" to Harry Verney 15 Aug. 1878; McDonald p. 545. Nightingale's gift to Webb was particularly apt for a nurse whose training had been interrupted by emergency service. Hill 1834-1892 a leading London surgeon and Professor of Clinical Surgery at UCL published the first edition in 1867. The guide offered practical comprehensive instruction in bandaging strapping and the treatment of fractures and dislocations. Popular from the outset it reached six editions by 1887. The second edition 1869 added material on preparations for sickrooms and operating theatres as well as a catalogue of surgical instruments. This third edition incorporates the latest improvements in treatment including the administration of chloroform and ether and adds new illustrations. The Essentials of Bandaging soon became foundational in nurse training. One of the earliest reading lists for nurses issued at St Thomas's Hospital in 1873 as part of Dr John Croft's lecture syllabus opened with Nightingale's own "Introductory Address". Students were expected to read Notes on Nursing "at least four times". The list also included Veitch's Handbook for Nurses Domville's Manual for Hospital Nurses and Berkeley Hill's Essentials of Bandaging Tesseyman p. 108. In March 1873 Nightingale herself noted books "recommended by Dr Croft" placing the second edition of The Essentials of Bandaging second on the list and recording the purchase of six copies. Octavo.
