NIGHTINGALE FLORENCE: (1820-1910) English Pioneer of modern Nursing. A fine A.L.S., Florence Nightingale, in ink, three pages, 8vo, Cleveland Row, St. James's, 23rd February 1863, to Dr. [William] Broadbent ('…or the Registrar of St. Mary's Hospital'), on mourning stationery. Nightingale commences her letter 'In following up my desire to improve the method of keeping Hospital Statistics, I have drawn up the enclosed Tables (no longer present) for operations' and continues to explain 'They are intended not only to register cases, but to enable results of particular operations to be better ascertained (statistically) than they are at present. I have had them tried on a large scale; and they have been found to answer every purpose'. Nightingale further expresses her intention to bring the subject before the Social Science Association at their next meeting, and adds 'But, in the meantime, I send a set, in the hope that, without the explanations then to be given, their usefulness will commend itself to you, so as to introduce them into St. Mary's Hospital'. A letter of good association and fine content for its illustration of Nightingale's pioneering methods and in particular her gift for the graphical representation of statistics. VG £1000-1200 Sir William Broadbent (1835-1907) English Neurologist, a leading authority in the field of cardiology and neurology. Physician-Extraordinary to Queen Victoria and Physician-in-Ordinary to King Edward VII. Broadbent was associated with St. Mary's Hospital for most of his career, first taking a post there in 1859. It was through his work at the hospital that Broadbent gained his reputation as an expert pathologist and outstanding clinical teacher. Nightingale is noted for her pioneering statistical graphics, including the Nightingale rose diagram, and in 1859 had been elected as the first female member of the Royal Statistical Society.

NAPOLEON I: (1769-1821) Emperor of France 1804-14, 1815. Extremely rare L.S., `Bonaparte´, a bold and good example early signature, one page, folio, Cairo, Egypt, 26th July 1798, to General Cafarelli, in French. The present letter is written only five days after the Battle of the Pyramids, a decisive victory wiping out almost the entire Egyptian army. Napoleon entered Cairo after the battle and created a new local administration under his supervision. In his capacity as General-in-Chief, Napoleon states `I beg you General to take in charge immediately the raise of a map of the city of Cairo and its surroundings..´ further adding `Make them do it first as a croquis, at a glance and with a very large scale..´ Napoleon plans to establish head-quarters at Cairo, and states `I also wish you to let me know the place we could choose to build a citadel which would contain our main institutions and keep the city of Cairo respectful.´ The letter is in the hand of General Geraud Michel Duroc (1772-1813) aide de camp to Napoleon since 1796. Small overall age wear and staining to the upper right corner, with extremely small areas of paper loss to the left edge as a result of binding removal. G £3000-4000 Louis Maximilien Caffarelli du Falga (1756-1799) French General of Italian origin. He served on the French invasion of Egypt with a wooden leg. Only a month before the present letter was written he landed with Napoleon at Valletta to occupy Malta in June 1798. A year after he had his right arm amputated when his elbow was smashed by a bullet during an assault on Acre. Gangrene struck caused a fever that killed him. Napoleon wrote of him in the order of the day: "Our universal regrets accompany General Caffarelli to the grave; the army is losing one of its bravest leaders, Egypt one of its legislators, France one of its best citizens, and science, an illustrious scholar."
