ESS was a student at UCL and subsequently a Lecturer in Physiology (1874-1883) and professor of Physiology (1883-1899). This collection includes rather miscellaneous material accumulated during this period of his connection with UCL, and not necessarily pertaining directly to it, e.g. the controversy with Ferrier within the Neurological Society. Four letters described in the old list as Miscellaneous Personal Correspondence (pre 1899) have been transferred to the section of the collection dealing with Personal Material: they can be found in PP/ESS/P.73, a file of letters to ESS from miscellaneous friends, neighbours and relatives. (The letters concerned are from Henry Hucks Gibbs 1st Baron Aldenham, 1897, Sir Frederick Joseph Bramwell, 1897, and the Rt Hon Sir Arthur Charles to British Colleagues; and one letter of an apparently personal nature of which the signature is illegible.
