This picture shows one of Florence Nightingale’s homes in Embley Park. This is also the
house where Nightingale heard the calling of God, telling her that helping people and
nursing was her true calling, leading her to pursue her nursing career. The only bad thing
about this website was that I couldn’t understand what the text said because it was in a
completely different language.

(Rare!) Voice of Florence Nightingale (1890). YouTube. N.p., 21 Oct. 2008. Web. 27 Feb. 2015.
This definitely was a rare find, due to the fact that this is the voice of my Florence
Nightingale! This recording, which was made on an “Edison Parafine Wax Cylinder on
July 30th 1890”, shows how kind of a soul Nightingale really is to wish her friends in
Balaclava luck on their shipping return. This was used on my Home page and is one
minute and 13 seconds long. The only bad thing about this is that the actual talking
doesn’t start until about the 15th/16th second.
