1863rif. 161784London: Longman Green Longman Roberts and Green 1863. Inscribed to her only supporter in the British military establishment Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the title page "Major General Sir Henry Storks &c &c offered by one who has had the honour to serve under his command. F.N. 5/11/64 Inkermann Day". During the Crimean War Henry Knight Storks 1811-1874 commanded the British military establishments in Turkey from the Bosphorus to Smyrna and was promoted major-general. He superintended the final British withdrawal from Turkey at the end of the war. Nightingale inscribed this copy on the tenth anniversary of the Battle of Inkerman a major British victory. Storks was a key ally in Nightingale's efforts to reform nursing in the Crimea reforms she often felt were obstructed by the British military authorities. She wrote on 6 March 1856 "I have therefore fought my own battles. I can truly say unsupported by any official out here with the exception of Genl. Storks" in Goldie p. 225. In May 1856 Nightingale was so exhausted by illness and overwork that she thought she was dying and wrote to Storks with her last requests: "As you are of all those in office whether at home or abroad the officer who has given the most steady and constant support to the work entrusted to me by her Majesty's Government I venture to appeal to you to continue that support after my death and to carry out as far as possible my last requests" Goldie. p. 265. Nightingale recovered and in 1857 secured Storks's appointment to the Royal Commission on the sanitary condition of the army. For many years after they continued to correspond on the welfare of soldiers. Nightingale's Notes on Hospitals was first published in 1858 and the second edition in 1859. This third edition was completely revised and substantially expanded and as Nightingale wrote in her preface "it is in reality a new book". The work addresses sanitation and hospital architecture arguing for the "pavilion" plan in which wards were separated into wings to improve ventilation and sunlight and to reduce infection by isolating contagious patients. The book "won Nightingale praise and inaugurated her career as an advisor to medical professionals all around the world especially those involved with hospital and infirmary construction" Orlando Women's Writing in the British Isles.
