Miscellaneous correspondence with publishers and collaborators re subsequent translations, overseas sales, royalty and sales statements, etc. Many letters convey Lovatt Evans's reluctance to continue the heavy work involved in rewriting and revising the book and also the high esteem in which the work was held in medical circles and the value placed on Lovatt Evans's work by the publishers. There are also 2 letters (1941) from Mrs Muriel Patterson, Starling's daughter PP/CLE/D.2

  - Starling's Principles of Human Physiology. This work first appeared in 1912. When Starling was asked by the publishers (Churchill) to prepare a new edition, in 1918, he wrote to Lovatt Evans (then Professor at Leeds: see A.5) to ask him `to undertake the major part of the revision for me...' except for the section on Dietetics which Starling would himself rewrite (see D.1 below). Lovatt Evans continued the task of revising subsequent editions of the book up to 1956 (12th ed.)PP/CLE/D.1-5
