Nutting and Dock's 4-volume study stands as one of the great works on the history of nursing. The writing of the "History" was an enormous undertaking. Covering both American and English history, volumes 1and 2 are concerned with the evolution of nursing systems, tracing the developments from the earliest times to the foundation of the first English and American training schools for nurses.
