    ‘Truthfulness, honesty, and kindliness of heart…’ a treasure for our Nursing History Collection

    This new addition to the Nursing History Collection was written by a missionary who founded the London Bible and Domestic Female Mission, and who started training ‘bible-women nurses’ in 1868. This book published seven years into her work gives a first-hand account of her process to train nurses.
