Review
We have received "A Short History of Nursing" from the earliest times to the present day, by Lavinia L. Dock, R.N., and Isabel M. Stewart, A.M., R.N., and have read it with interest. In "Kai Tiaki" April, 1921, we republished a full review of the book from "The British Journal of Nursing," so will not make any further note, except to advise those who can read its forerunner, the fourth volume of which was published in 1912, to do so, if they wish
to realise fully the history of the nursing profession. The present volume is very interesting, well and lucidly written, and adds later details to the development of the work of nurses and the part they took during the war. A mistake is made in attributing State Registration of Nurses or Midwives and the establishment of State Maternity Hospitals to the efforts of the Plunket Society. These things were accomplished long before.
