Footnotes
The scarce public report resulting from the investigation carried out by Florence Nightingale after the Crimean war. She arranged the questions, briefed the witnesses, and supplied her own evidence (albeit censored by Sidney Herbert). Pages 361-389 contain 'Answers to written questions addressed to Miss Florence Nightingale by the commissioners', and the report also includes the diagrams she developed with William Farr.
