Florence Nightingale (1820–1910) and Sir John Forbes (1787–1861): Neighbours in Old Burlington Street, Westminster (2015)
The year 2010 marks the centenary of the birth of Florence Nightingale and will, no doubt, be universally remembered. Her life and nursing career have recently been fully described by Bostridge. It is less well known that her neighbour from November 1856 was the distinguished Scottish physician Sir John Forbes MD Edin FRCP Lond FRS DCL Oxon. Although they never met, they exchanged copies of each other’s books and shared a mutual respect.
