Book excerpt: Materials in Volume 4 reflect Florence Nightingale's interest in Eastern religions as well as an ongoing interest in other faiths, and range from early to late in life. These interests were certainly strengthened by her Egyptian trip (Part 2: Letters and Diaries from Egypt, 1849-50) and further prompted by her work on India. Part 1 contains Nightingale's writing on Christian mystics and date from the early 1870s, when Nightingale was hard at work on reforms in India and Britain.
