About this object"Notes on Matters Affecting the Health, Efficiency and Hospital Administration of the British Army" by Florence Nightingale, 1858. As well as agreeing to the Royal Commission following the Crimean War, Lord Panmure also requested that Florence write her observations and recommendations based on her experiences into a formal and confidential report. This report contains the statistical diagrams, or "coxcombs" which illustrated that more men died of preventable diseases, than died of their wounds. These diagrams were the inspiration for the first pie charts.
