Lectures on, General Nursing. By Eva C. E. Liickes. (Kegan
Paul, Trench, and Co )—Miss Liickes, who is matron to the London Hospital, prints in this volume a series of lectures delivered to the
probationers in the training school for nurses which that hospital maintains. "General Nursing" must be understood as distinguished from "Surgical Nursing" and "Medical Nursing," on both of which topics instruction is given by lecturers connected with the hospital. "I," says Miss Lftekes, "have confined myself for the most part to trivial details which are usually considered almost too trivial to men- tion." This, as may be readily believed by any one who has practical acquaintance with the subject, does not make her lectures less useful. There is an incredible amount of ignorance, even among those who profess to know something of nursing, about these minutim. This is a most useful book, not only for professional nurses, but for any woman that has, or is likely to have, any considerable amount of nursing to do.
