Rare recording of Florence Nightingale

This youtube clip is taken from a 1890 voice recording of Florence Nightingale. I thought it was worth sharing because Florence Nightingale was mentioned in Solie's book as someone who enjoyed the "girling" process, but grew up to have a unconventional life for a woman in the Victorian times. I also wanted to share this because it was recorded with Thomas Edison's paraffin wax cylinder phonograph, an invention of the Victorian times. Florence Nightingales words are:

"When I am no longer even a memory- just a name, I hope my voice may perpetuate the great work of my life. God bless my dear old comrades of Balaclava and bring them safe to shore."
