On the 31st December 1852 Nightingale reflected on the past year. The last day of the year. I am so glad this year is over. Nevertheless it has not been wasted, I trust. I have remodelled my whole religious belief from beginning to end. I have learnt to know God. I have recast my social belief; I have them both written for use, when my hour is come. The tangible result was a booklet entitled Begin. Dedication. To the Artisans of England, now published for the first time.
